The origins of the traditional Christmas wreath date back hundreds of years, when greenery was used to decorate
the outside of homes at the winter solstice to bring luck and safety during the impending winter months. In the 19th Century, German glass blowers introduced the tradition of decorating Christmas trees with delicate ornaments, and artists through the years have brought their own unique interpretation to the designs.

The ornaments pictured on this card come from a variety of skilled artists, including Steve Greytak, Jim Gress,
Tom Zieg and Barry Gross.
