Tree decorators. Christmas ornaments are special decorations that people hang on Christmas trees to make them look festive and beautiful. They come in almost every color, size, and shape you can imagine.

Made many ways. Ornaments can be blown from glass like tiny bubbles, carved from wood, molded from plastic, or even made from expanded polystyrene (a super-light fluffy material). Each method creates something unique and special.

Called by many names. These decorations go by lots of different names around the world, including baubles, globes, Christmas bulbs, and Christmas bubbles, but they all do the same job of making trees gorgeous.

Endless variety. Since there are so many ways to make ornaments, people have created millions of different designs over the years, from simple solid colors to fancy shapes of animals, characters, and objects.
