A gift book about Christmas tree decorations that have been popular in our country at different times.

Who invented decorating the Christmas tree? How were glass balls blown and wax figures sculpted? And is it true that in the old days, children ate all the Christmas tree decorations after the holiday?

Christmas trees have featured all sorts of decorations! Clowns and astronauts, airships and carriages, goose-with-a-bridled-bags and ballerina bunnies have all been seen. They were crafted from cotton wool and cardboard, glass and plastic, marzipan and metal thread. And not only by craftsmen, but also by children themselves.

Christmas tree decorations don't just give us a sense of celebration. They can also be used to explore the history of our families and countries. They are like a thread that connects us to those who came before. Fragile, shiny, and magical.
