The Christmas Tree.
The Christmas tree originated in Germany in the 1800’s. For many it is the focal point of their Christmas decorations and festivities. Originally in the Old World, Europeans adorned their trees with cookies, fruits, and candles. In the 1850’s, German craftsmen perfected the art of glass blown ornaments, and soon Christmas trees shimmered with beautiful glass ornaments. Today’s modern Christmas tree holds lights and ornaments of all varieties and all colors of the spectrum while beneath it are wondrous gifts. A symbol of triumph over winter’s bitter cold, the Christmas evergreen has long inspired hope in the hearts of man. Select this link to view our Western Christmas Ornaments.

The Tradition of Birthdays.
Birthday is the name given to the anniversary of the day we were born. It is celebrated by a party with friends and family bringing gifts for the person who’s Birthday it is. It is also customary to treat people especially well on their Birthday. Select this link to view our Music Boxes.
Birthday Celebrations are not universal. Some people prefer name day celebrations instead. There are some who do not celebrate either because they consider the origin of such festivals as Birthdays, Christmas and Easter to be pagan. Then there are some of us who just don’t like to be reminded that we are getting older. Select this link to view our Ornament Storage Boxes.
Birthday Cakes are usually elaborately decorated and some times follow a theme having to do with a talent or interest of the Birthday person. Select this link to view our Christmas Tree Storage Bags.
The Birthday Cake Tradition is for the cake to be presented covered with the same number of lit candles as the persons age. The Birthday person makes a wish and tries to blow out all the candles in one breath. If successful and he or she does not tell anyone the wish, then it is supposed to come true. Some people add an extra candle, “One to Grow On,” to help bring the Birthday person extra luck during the year. Select this link to view our Christmas Nutcracker Village People.
