Glass Ornaments: All You Need to Know

It is getting to be about that time of year when people start to consider what they are going to do to decorate for the holidays. One of the best trends that have been around for years, actually since the mid-1800s, is using glass ornaments on trees. Glass ornaments are becoming more popular now as people realize just how much detail these little ornaments can give their tree.

They are Built to Last

Glass ornaments are not something that you purchase one year and then toss the next. These ornaments are built to last. It is not uncommon to find glass ornaments that were made in the early 1900’s today! That just shows how built to last they are, when they are taken care of. 

They do Require Care

Since these are ornaments that are made from glass, they are not going to be something that you simply throw into a box and wait to use the next year. They do have to be packaged with care in order to be stored properly. This means:

  • Wrapping each individual ornaments
  • Placing these into a box that will not allow the ornaments to touch 
  • Ensuring that adequate staffing is in the box to prevent shifting

Also, you have to worry about where you are storing these as condensation is known to ruin these ornaments, resulting in paint peeling and other issues. 

Hang with Care

When hanging these glass ornaments on your tree, you are going to want to do this with care. These should never be hung on the tips of the branches. If you do this, you are going to risk them falling. Instead, be sure that they are hanging at least mid-way on the branch and on a strong branch that can support the weight. This will help to prevent any accidents from these ornaments falling and hitting the floor. 

They are Gorgeous

One of the main reasons that so many people are considering glass ornaments is that they are simply gorgeous. They have detail and reflect the light in a way that the plastic ornaments simply cannot compete with.  They bring sophistication to many decor themes, which is what many people are trying to create.

For those who are still on the fence about glass ornaments, they will find that these are gorgeous and they cannot go wrong with them. While they may need a bit more care, this will pay off in the long run!

Different types of Artificial Christmas trees

Artificial Christmas trees. In many countries around the world, Christmas day, December 25th, marks the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. History has it that the holiday has been observed since 800 A.D. The middle ages came with the advent of the 12 days of Christmas and the origin of public festivals that saw people incorporate ivy, holy, and gift-giving as part of the rituals of Christmas.

Even though the celebration of Christmas can be traced as far back in history as 800 A.D, Christmas trees began to make its mark as an important symbol of the holiday in the 12th century, when people in Europe used to hang Fir upside down in celebration of Christmas. 

Since Christmas tree is very important part of the season, families do all that is within their power to acquire one every Christmas holiday. To ease the burden of having to go to the woods year after year in the dead of winter, people have resorted to buying artificial trees that can last them many years.

Artificial Christmas trees can now be found everywhere; families can even erect up to a 10-foot fake tree in their living room. Some of these trees are even manufactured to smell like the real thing.

Best Artificial Christmas trees

Artificial Christmas trees. One of the most conspicuous symbols over the years that indicates the advent of the Christmas season is the Christmas tree. A lot of Christmas tree pop up in cities and towns across America and Europe to signal the start of the season.

Nobody can say for sure when Fir trees were first used as Christmas trees. It probably began about 1000 years ago in Northern Europe. Many early Christmas Trees seem to have been hung upside down from the ceiling using chains (hung from chandeliers/lighting hooks).

For many years, many families during yuletide wander into the woods to find that perfect fir or spruce that will make their living room shine and brighten up for the holiday season, they don’t mind doing this even in the dead cold of winter.

These days, however, people would rather not go through the bother of going into the woods to cut down trees themselves, after all, there is an alternative which comes with way less stress and wat more advantages than going into the woods to cut down trees.

Families have adopted buying Artificial Christmas Trees that can last them years and years instead of cutting down a live tree. You can enjoy the joy of buying the trees in all shapes, colors, and sizes and they come pre-wired with an assortment of different types of lights to brighten your holidays. The best ones, in my opinion, are the ones that look and smell as close as possible to the real thing.

Green trees and why we love them

Green trees. One of the most enjoyable traditions of the holiday season is the Christmas tree. Christmas trees come in different types and color, especially if they are artificial. But even with all the choices that have been made available in recent times, many people choose to stick to green trees for Christmas.

Going green with your Christmas tree is quite easy and there are a lot of ways to go about it. You could use living potted Christmas trees, recycled cardboard or you could even purchase LED Xmas lights. If you ask me though, aiming for a living tree is the best way to go green. Apart from the sense of nature it gives, it also is eco-friendly.

Alive trees produce Oxygen and consume carbon dioxide. This fact alone is good news because it helps combat global warming. Another good news is that living trees can last for years if you know how to keep them alive.

That you need to decorate your home for Christmas with a living tree, does not mean that you have to kill a tree. Living trees are a great option, although they are usually small.

The only problem you might encounter if you ply this route is that after about ten days of being indoors, it becomes hard to keep different varieties alive, especially if they are in a heated environment. 

However, there is a simple solution to that. After about ten days, all you need to do is bring them outside to their initial temperature and they will do just fine.
