Christmas Wood Decoration
Earlier for many centuries man decorated the tree with maybe stones and colored cloth. The evergreen bough was the only
decoration people brought home during Christmas time. Gradually evergreen plants with berries grown on it like mistletoe,
holly, rosemary, yew, bay, and box were used. These evergreens were twined into a spherical shape and the picture if the holy
family was put in the centre. This was called the holy decoration.
As man learnt to carve and cut wood, he began creating wonderful Christmas wood decoration. Wood not being fragile could be
roughly handled and passed on from generation to generation. Christmas wood decoration is cherished since the anxiety of
breaking precious memento is remote. Christmas wood decoration is hand carved and hand painted, thus becomes a treasured gift.
