Mouth blown glass German Christmas tree ornaments have been made by Germans since the middle of the 1800's. Their Christmas ornaments quickly became popular with the German people, and were soon exported to England. Today, glass German Christmas ornaments are still mouth blown and the glass ornaments are exported to all areas of the world. They have become a part of our Christmas traditions for many of us during the holidays..

Germans have been making wax Christmas tree ornaments even longer than glass ones. The first German wax Christmas ornaments were sold at local farmers markets, for villagers to use when decorating their Christmas trees. German wax Christmas ornaments are still being made today. They too are exported and sold world wide.

Perhaps the most famous of German Christmas ornaments are the hand crafted wooden ones. Germans have been carving Christmas ornaments from wood for centuries. Other than nuts and cookies, wooden Christmas ornaments were probably the first type of ornament used by the Germans to decorate their Christmas trees. Even now, after the art of carving has been handed down for generations, wooden German Christmas ornaments are still extremely popular and sold all over the world.

The craft of making pewter German Christmas ornaments dates back more than 200 years. Each pewter ornament is hand crafted, polished and hand painted. Pewter German Christmas ornaments come in small sizes, special for use in decorating Christmas trees, as well as large decorative ornaments to use as window hangings during the holidays.

We can thank Germany for their long history of producing German Christmas ornaments, as well as the tradition of decorating Christmas trees. The Germans were the first to decorate trees at Christmastime, a delightful tradition that has been adopted by millions of families all over the world. To many of us, it just wouldn't be Christmas with a beautiful tree decorated with German Christmas ornaments.
