Christmas ornaments are decorations used to adorn Christmas trees, homes, offices, and outdoor spaces during the winter holiday season. Christmas ornaments can be secular or religious in nature, and many depict images of snow, Santa Claus, reindeer and candy canes in addition to religious icons such as crosses and images of the baby Jesus.

History
The first reported sphere-shaped ornaments were produced in 1847 in Germany. Christmas trees were previously decorated with nuts, fruits and candy. Glass baubles were first introduced in the United States in the 1880s by Franklin Winfield Woolworth.A Social History of Christmas Ornaments: The Earliest Ornaments -
Tradition
Ornaments are commonly handed down from generation to generation as family keepsakes. Modern ornaments may feature photos on glass baubles or in frames or inscriptions on metal or wood ornaments commemorating a baby's first Christmas or the specific year they were purchased. Ornaments can also be homemade, often by a child as a present to the family. -
