Christmas decorations

Decorations of Christmas trees, wrapping gifts all during Christmas time Decorations In the Western world, rolls of paper with secular or religious Christmas motifs are manufactured for the purpose of wrapping gifts. Common motifs include Christmas trees, holly, poinsettias, mistletoe, swags, wreaths, Santa Claus, the Nativity, angels, carolers, nutcrackers, toy soldiers, sleighs, sleds, drums, drummer boys, bows, reindeer, Christmas tree ornaments, gingerbread people and gingerbread houses, candies, stars, snowflakes, snowmen, snow babies, and penguins. Christmas trees may be decorated with lights and ornaments. The interior of a home may be decorated with garlands and evergreen foliage, particularly holly and mistletoe. In Australia, North and South America, and to a lesser extent Europe, it is traditional to decorate the outside of houses with lights and sometimes with illuminated sleighs, snowmen, and other Christmas figures. Since the 19th century, the poinsettia has been associated with Christmas. Other popular holiday plants include holly,[mistletoe, red amaryllis, and Christmas cactus. Municipalities often sponsor decorations as well. Christmas banners may be hung from street lights and Christmas trees placed in the town square. In the U.S., decorations once commonly included religious themes. This practice has led to many lawsuits, as some say it amounts to the government endorsing a religion. In 1984, the US Supreme Court ruled that a city-owned Christmas display, even one with a Nativity scene, does not violate the First Amendment.[19] Although Christmas decorations, such as a tree, are considered secular in many parts of the world, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia bans such displays as symbols of Christianity. <<<<----Look out for more information on Christmas, history of christmas, christmas holiday,christmas carol,christmas cake,christmas santa,christmas day,christmas tree,christmas songs,christmas ornaments,christmas words,christmas greetings,christmas ecard,christmas tradition,christmas poems,reindeer,xmas,christmas greeting cards,santa claus,christmas chords,silent night song,jingle bells,christmas sheet music,christmas tree ornaments,christmas mp3,jesus birth,jesus crucifixion,jesus story,about jesus,jesus of nazareth,christmas party,christmas toys,japanese christmas,christmas eve,new year,christmas vacation,reindeer christmas and much more information available only and only in www.christmas-santa.blogspot.com---->>>>>
