The custom of decorating trees for Christmas dates back to pre-Christian times, but decorating trees for Christmas came to us relatively recently. At the beginning, many homes made their own Christmas tree decorations from straw, blown eggs, and even pine cones or nuts. In the 20th century, people started buying sweets to decorate Christmas trees. Additionally, there were intricately decorated glass baubles and the so-called angel hair, i.e. long strips of various colors. Today, we have a lot of Christmas decorations to choose from in specific colors and shapes, thanks to which our Christmas trees are beautifully decorated.
