Christmas decoration began in 1500. Christmas ornaments on the trees began in Germany. In Latvia around 1510 a fir tree (which is a traditional Christmas tree today) was decorated with pink trim. Then they began to use the wafers, nuts, and candles. Christmas ornaments also biscuits and sweets were being used and are still used today. Mothers and children get together and bake the cookies and candy and decorate them to hang on the Christmas tree. Some families make this a tradition every Christmas. In previous years there were also painted wooden ornaments and blown glass purposes.
To date the most beautiful Christmas decorations come from Germany. Many ornaments have a story behind them and are passed from generation to generation. Christmas decorations have many fond memories for families. The ornaments have a road map memory for all families.
