Christmas ornaments are decorations that are usually used to adorn a Christmas tree. They may be made from a variety of materials, including glass, wood, clay, and metal. Families often pass ornaments from one generation to another.
Where did the tradition of Christmas ornaments originate? The use of the Christmas tree itself can be traced to ancient Egypt, China, and other regions, where evergreen trees symbolizes eternal life.
These trees were worshiped in ancient Europe, and homes and barns were decorated with evergreen boughs in an attempt to scare away evil spirits. The trees were often decorated, or gifts left on them for the benefit of spirits.

In medieval Germany, this tradition became mixed with Christian symbolism. On December 24, "paradise trees" were set up in homes - a fir tree hung with apples to represent the trees of the Garden of Eden.
Later, cookies, candles, figurines, and stars were used to decorate the tree. This tradition entered into wide popularity during the 1800s after the British royal family included a decorated spruce tree in their Christmas celebrations.
