Christmas Decorations have evolved over the years and are constantly changing. Many traditions for Christmas Decorations come from different cultures and are mixed together and changed along the way. Decorations of Christmas Trees changed from the days of the Middle Ages where trees were decorated with fruits, nuts and berries to glass ornaments in the 1800′s. Modern Christmas Tree Decorations come in a wide range of materials from Bavarian crystal, to dolls wearing silk dresses to injection molded plastic ornaments featuring this years most popular children’s character.
People have also decorated with items other than Christmas trees, ivy, holly and mistletoe. In the 1950′s electric lights used both on the tree and exterior of the house became popular, trend that continues to this day. Many exterior decorations become so large and extravagant that they cause traffic jams in local communities.
