Personalized ornaments have a variety of uses in many culture. Since ornaments are most often used on Christmas trees, it is perhaps important to understand their history and meaning in our today's culture.
The earliest Christmas ornaments were often fruits and nuts. Along with the evergreen Christmas tree, these types of items hinted that life would return in the Spring after the passing of the cold winter. Today, ornaments can represent a menagerie of the things we find most pleasing or important in our personal life; An heirloom ornament passed down through several generation connects us to the legacy of our ancestors; A hand-shaped piece received from a long-lost friend keeps their presence in our hearts through the years.
Christmas presents many opportunities for reflection on the events during the year. As we decorate the tree in preparation for Christmas' feasts, each ornament carries a special meaning from its box to the bough. Each glance towards the tree with its glittering festivities comforts our hearts, no matter how cold or windy the weather outside.
Send a gift of comfort and cheer to those you love.
