Eventually ornaments were made specifically for Christmas trees, allowing forunlimited choices in tree embellishments.
These Christmas decorations, designed to hang on the tree come in bright, sparklycolours and cover many different popular holiday themes. Some affix to the tree withribbon, some with gold or silver string, and still others with a festive hook that blendsin with the ornament.
