wheir did the traditon of ball shaped ornaments come from?
hey guys christmas is sooner then you think and my tree is going up tommorow(thursday) i cannot wait, anyway its always been a mystery to me wheir ball shaped ornaments came from and why their so popular on christmas trees?
HIya Mets,
You ask a great question! The origins of both the Christmas Tree and Ornaments alike have come from traditions, from all over the world. It appears that the ornaments themselves became popular around the late 1800's, and were first imported from Europe, namely Germany.
I found some great resources for you:
