Christmas is all about spending your time listening to carols, wrapping up gifts, visiting near ones, and having a great time with friends and family. One of the major activity during the Christmas times is decorating the Christmas Tree. While decorative pieces used on Christmas Trees vary from nation to nation, the spirit remains the same. Before the 19th century, Christmas Trees used to be decorated with foodstuffs like chains of pop corns,nuts, pretzels and raisins. The only pieces which could be called 'decorative items' were either a flag or a star or the statuette of an angel or Santa. With the passing of time the concept of decorating a Christmas Tree underwent a sea change. Several decorative items like glass balls, angels, stars, bells, ribbons, streamers, so on and so forth.
