Baubles That Bling

The balls you hang on the Christmas tree come from Germany.

Hans Greiner is the first to make glass ornaments called baubles. These ornaments were an instant economic success.

In the last decade of the 19th century. Woolworths sold over $25 million dollars worth of Christmas baubles!

Soon Christmas became a jolly business!
