A Christmas ornament is any of a variety of decorative ornaments used at Christmas and the festive holiday season. The traditional Christmas colors are snow, silver, gold, and green. White, blue, and green are more frequently used to represent Christmas, or more frequently for Hanukkah, that comes around the same time each year. The other colors used for Christmas decor are not Christmas colors.
One of the top trends in home decorating this Christmas season is to hang Christmas ornaments on the Christmas tree. There are many different ornaments that can be used on a Christmas tree. Two popular decorations are the mistletoe and Christmas candle holders. Both of these decorative items make wonderful additions to a Christmas tree, however, the Christmas candle holders have a long history associated with Christmas.
Another popular item that is seen on a Christmas tree is a buffalo check sign. Unlike the other ornaments mentioned above, the buffalo check sign is designed specifically to be hung on a Christmas tree. The most common style of this sign is designed as a small sign that says, “Merry Christmas.” This particular design is extremely popular among families who have more than one child who enjoys the holiday.
Stockings also rank high in the list of Christmas ornaments. The reason for this is the fact that stockings are very practical, inexpensive, and easy to decorate. You do not have to purchase expensive ornaments to have your own stockings on your Christmas tree. A plain black stocking, purchased at the local dollar store, is usually enough to dress up your entrance for the holidays.
Of course, the tradition of wrapping presents began with the Christmas trees. Decorations made from wrapping paper predates the tradition of stocking stuffing by many years. Today, people often still use leftover Christmas wrapping to wrap presents. Many people will use leftover Christmas wrapping to make homemade Christmas decorations, such as Christmas stockings.
