In accordance with folklores, it was Germans, who first decorated The Christmas tree. This German art stepped in England in Victorian era, when Prince Albert (husband of Queen Victoria) started celebrating Christmas at English royal residency in a way, how he used to celebrate in Germany- his native country.  In late nineteenth century, North Americans also started celebrating Christmas with ornamentation of Christmas tree. This was introduced in North America by those Europeans, who immigrated to the American continent. Here, Christmas ornaments became a symbol of affluence and wealth. With times, they grew larger and became more vibrant. Bigger Christmas ornaments were a sign of more wealth while smaller were for poorer people.
