Christmas ornaments

Festive tree hangings

Christmas ornaments are decorative objects hung on Christmas trees or displayed during the holiday season.

The classic form is a glass ball, but ornaments come in endless varieties—angels, snowflakes, candy canes, miniature Santas.

Many families collect ornaments over years, each carrying memories: We hung the ornament from our first Christmas together.

Also called Christmas decorations or tree ornaments.
