Can we get a photo? Intrigue 22:58, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Loads of free photos at FreeFoto.com and some background bauble information here. violet/riga (t) 22:34, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Christmas Ornament Directory is a commercial (advertising) site, not a useful reference site. I don't believe the link belongs here. YellowPig (talk) 10:35, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Christmas pickle

I doubt this was legitimate. --77.176.203.12 (talk) 09:37, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

While I cannot speak to the truth of the Christmas Pickle being a German tradition, I work for one of the largest Christmas Stores in the country and can legitimately state that we sell thousands of Christmas Pickle ornaments every year, and it is a widely held belief in America that it is a German tradition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.239.96.70 (talk) 22:03, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

See the Christmas pickle article for clarification. (I buy them occasionally, not because of any traditions attached to them, rightly or wrongly, but because I think they're funny.) Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 04:33, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Chrismons

I put a section fact tag on the Chrismons section which makes a lot of dubious claims with no references. Comet Tuttle (talk) 06:16, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia has an article on Chrismon tree and several links. This is a natural extension of this including "http://www.chrismon.org/site/chrismon/chrismonphotos.htm" How else could I reference this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spicer5 (talk • contribs) 03:34, 20 January 2011 (UTC) But They came from germany where there were just plain with candy on them that was the first christmas ornaments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.246.142.212 (talk) 17:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

No, there's no Chrismon tree article; it's mentioned and illustrated within the Christmas tree article where the term redirects. There is a separate Chrismon article that deals with the religious symbol, not decorated trees. I have not looked for references. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 00:49, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

This seem unlikely

The first decorated trees were adorned with apples, strings of popcorn, white candy canes and pastries in the shapes of stars, hearts and flowers.

This seem highly unlikely, especially the pop corn. Given that the Christmas tree tradition started during the early Middle Ages in Europe, before Christophorus Columbus was even born. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Se mj (talk • contribs) 23:20, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
