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 People and Profession Tree Ornaments.
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 Music Boxes.
StarsSparkling and twinkling stars have always fascinated mankind. Infinitely far away, they lead us through the dark night, as did the Star of Bethlehem that showed the Magi the way to the manger where Jesus was born. Traditionally, stars are placed on top of the Christmas tree to help us remember the significant roles stars have played in Christian history. As a symbol of guidance and faith, stars are one of the oldest Christmas ornaments glassblowers have created. Select this link to view our Christmas Nutcracker Village People.
