A LITTLE INFORMATION ON ORNAMENTS: Many people use hanging ornaments for Christmas tree decorations. However you can use these for ANY other event or purpose they seem suitable for! Ornaments are decorations (usually made of glass, metal, wood, or ceramics) that are often used to festoon a Christmas tree. Ornaments take many different forms, from a simple round ball to highly artistic designs. Ornaments are almost always reused year after year rather than purchased annually, and family collections often contain a combination of commercially produced ornaments and decorations created by family members. Such collections are often passed on and augmented from generation to generation.
