The Christmas tree is the center of all your holiday decorating! Lights, ornaments, tinsel….even the tree itself is a special, one of a kind tree, in every home! Make your Christmas tree unique this year, and every year, with decorations from The Christmas Tree Connection.
Christmas is a special, magical time of year… celebrated in some form by nearly every religion, every ethnic group, around the world. The Christmas Tree originated in Germany as a decorated evergreen tree, associated with the celebration of Christmas, or originally Yule. In the beginning Christmas trees were decorated with candles, garlands of popcorn and other natural items, hand made ornaments, and often topped with a star to represent the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity, or an angel to represent the host of angels.
Over the years, the simple Christmas tree of yesterday evolved into a centerpiece of decorating for the holidays, artificial trees were created (who can forget the aluminum trees of the 50′s and 60′s), early lights were replaced with specialty bulbs, colored glass balls were added, and shiny tinsel replaced the strands of popcorn and hand made garland that was once used.
Today, Christmas trees may be live or artificial, and are generally decorated much more lavishly, with strands of lights instead of candles, garlands of beads, tinsel, and an assortment of ornaments ranging from spun glass balls to hand made collectible ornaments. Themed Christmas trees are now the norm, and weeks, or even months of planning often precede the decorating of some Christmas trees.
