History of Christmas Ornaments 

Although historians have never reached complete agreement on the origins of the Christmas tree and it ornaments, it has been documented that in 1510 there was a written record of a decorated Christmas Tree in Riga, Latvia. Men of the local merchants' guild decorated a tree with artificial roses, danced around it in the marketplace and then set fire to it. The rose was used for many year and is considered to be a symbol for the Virgin Mary.

In 1530 there is record from Alsace, France (then Germany territory) that trees were sold in the marketplace and brought home and set up undecorated. Laws limited the size to "8 shoe lengths" (slightly over 4 feet).
