Christmas Garland History



Christmas has numerous customs and rituals attached to it. It is celebrated with great pomp and splendor all over the world and the age-old customs are much revered. The Christmas garlands are an intrinsic part of the Christmas festivities. Christmas Garland History offers an in-depth chronicle of the custom of Christmas garlands.

Christmas garland history tells us that the early settlers to America brought the custom of Christmas garlands to the country. The garlands are used to decorate the Christmas trees. They are also for other adornment purposes like decorating the room or the house during the Christmas season. Making Christmas garlands added to the family income after the harvesting season is over before Christmas. Selling the garlands fetched a tidy sum, which was spent in buying clothes or other household articles. We find from the Christmas garland history, pine, spruce and cedar trees were used in the making of the Christmas garlands. There were other things used that include cornhusks, orange and scarlet pods of bittersweet, mosses, and dried fruits. The Christmas garlands were not only for home decoration they were used for decorating, churches, business establishments, shops, and hospitals also. The decoration with green garlands made an attractive picture in the background of white snow covered ground.

The turn of the twentieth century saw the abundance of foliage decrease. Artificial decorations flooded the markets and they soon became quite popular. The tradition of using artificial articles for decoration started. This had one advantage. The cutting down of greens in the countryside was greatly reduced, Nature was spared to some extent.
