Types of decorations
Glass ornaments
Figural glass Christmas ornaments originated in the small town of Lauscha, Germany in the latter half of the 19th century.
The town had long produced fine glassware.
The production of Christmas ornaments became a family affair for many people.
Some families invested 16 hours a day in production.
For some, it was their sole source of income.
Sometimes competitions were held.
Prizes were awarded to the family producing the finest examples.
Santa Clauses, angels, birds, animals, and other traditional Yuletide subjects were favorites.
F.W. Woolworth discovered these glass ornaments on a toy and doll buying trip to Sonnenburg, Germany in the 1890s.
He sold them in his "five and ten cent" stores in America.
The ornaments were said to have contributed to Woolworth's great business success.
For the American market, figures were blown depicting comic book characters as well as patriotic subjects such as Uncle Sams, eagles, and flags.
Glassblowers have held on to the old molds.
Glass ornaments are still created from these old molds.
A clear glass tube is heated over an open flame.
It is then inserted into a mold.
The glassblower then blows into the end of the tube.
The glass expands to fill the mold.
The glass takes on the shape of the mold.
It is cooled.
A silver nitrate solution is swirled about inside the ornament.
This gives the ornament a silver glow.
The outside of the ornament is painted or decorated with metal trims, paper clippings, etc.
Cotton batting
Cotton batting Christmas ornaments were popular during the years of the German Christmas toy and decoration boom at the turn of the century.
They were exported in large numbers to the United States.
These decorations suggested puffs of snow.
Fruits and vegetables were popular subjects and often had a realistic appearance.
African American and patriotic characters were fashioned for the American market.
Some ornaments were used to hide boxes of candy.
Assembling these decorations was a cottage industry.
Cotton batting was wound around a wire frame resembling a human or animal.
A face was either painted on or a lithograph cut-out was affixed to the batting.
Figures were given crepe paper costumes.
Some were touched with glue and sprinkled with flakes of mica for a glittering appearance.
Dresdens are three-dimensional ornaments.
They are made of paper, card, or cardboard.
Dresdens were produced mostly in Dresden and Leipzig, Germany, from the 1860s to WWI.
They were originally priced between 1 and 60 cents.
Subjects included animals and birds, suns and moons, humans, carriages and ships, etc.
Some Dresdens were flat, allowing the buyer to collect them in scrapbooks.
Positive and negative molds were set into a press.
A moistened sheet of card was put into the press.
The images were pressed.
When they had dried, they were sent to cottage workers for the finishing touches.
This involved separating the form-halves from the card, trimming ragged edges, and gluing the two halves together.
The form was then gilded, silvered, or hand-painted.
Sometimes a small gift or sweet was put into the form.
Forms were usually no larger than five inches.

The Braconidae are a family of parasitoid wasps.
They are one of the richest families of insects: there are between 50,000 and 150,000 species worldwide.
The species are grouped into 45 subfamilies and about 1,000 genera.
Most braconids are parasitoids (both external and internal) on other insects.
Their victims are the larvae of Coleoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera, and also some hemimetabolous insects such as aphids and bugs.
Most species kill their hosts, though some cause the hosts to become sterile and less active.
The endoparasitoid species lay their eggs inside the victim.
They have elaborate adaptations which improve larval survival inside the host.
They have endosymbiotic viruses which disable the host immune defences.
These polydnaviruses are often used by the wasps instead of a venom cocktail.
The DNA of the wasp actually has bits which are the templates for the viral particles.
A study suggested these arrangements had started about 100 million years ago.
These viruses suppress the larva's immune system and allow the parasitoid to grow inside the host undetected.
Through the evolutionary history of being used by the wasps, these viruses apparently have become so modified, they appear unlike any other known viruses today.
Because of this highly modified system of host immunosuppression, a high level of parasitoid-host specificity is not surprising.
In other words, the viruses need to be a bit different for every host species.
Parasitism on adult insects (particularly on Hemiptera and Coleoptera) also happens.
Members of two subfamilies are known to form galls on plants.

The Rouen Cathedral series of oil paintings of the Rouen Cathedral were done by Claude Monet in the 1890s.
The paintings in the series each capture the front of the cathedral at different times of the day and year.
They each show the changes in the way the cathedral looks under different lighting conditions.
There are more than thirty paintings in the series.
In the middle of winter in 1892, Monet lived in rooms across from Rouen Cathedral.
He stayed until spring, painting its façade many times.
Most versions were painted as seen here: close up and cropped at the sides.
He returned the next winter to paint the cathedral again.
He made more than thirty views of it.
It was not the Gothic façade that was Monet's subject.
It was the atmosphere that surrounded the cathedral. "
To me the motif itself is an insignificant factor," Monet said, "What I want to reproduce is what exists between the motif and me."
All of the paintings in the series were made in 1892 and 1893.
They were reworked in Monet's studio in 1894.
In 1895, he chose what he considered to be the twenty best paintings from the series, and displayed them at his gallery in Paris.
Of these twenty, he sold eight before the exhibition was over.
Pissarro and Cézanne visited the exhibition and praised the series highly.

Connecticut is a US state.
It is in the north-eastern side of the country.
As part of the New England region, Connecticut has undergone much geologic change.
It has been shaped by plate tectonics, volcanism, and glacial activity.
During the early Triassic Era, the super-continent Pangea was formed as the Iapetus Ocean closed up and the proto-North American continent collided with Avalonia (modern day Africa).
This caused great uplift and the creation of the Appalachian Mountains.
The erosion of the Appalachian Mountains now exposes and lifts up metamorphic rocks that used to be very deep in the Earth's.
Eastern Border Fault
About 200 million years after this collision and the formation of Pangea, during the middle of the Mesozoic Era, the Atlantic Ocean floor started spreading.
This caused a lot of stress.
This caused a geologic fault.
Connecticut's famous Eastern Border Fault was created.
As a result, the land west of this fault was downset, creating a rift valley and causing the land to tilt an average of 15 to 25 degrees.
During Ice Ages, glacial activity shaped much of New England's landscape, eroding mountains, leaving glacial till scattered everywhere, and forming glacial lakes.
At its greatest extent, one of these glaciers leaves behind a moraine which became Long Island.
It formed when the Laurentide ice sheet retreated and glacial meltwater began to accumulate at the glacier’s terminal moraine in Rocky Hill, Connecticut and back up into the Connecticut River.
The glacial lake left behind a soft, varved landscape, gathering silt and sand in the summertime due to the influx of glacial meltwater and clay in the wintertime as the lake froze until it was later drained.
River Valley has a soft surface.
It is also high in nutrients and host the majority of Connecticut's farmland soils.
The land on either side of the Connecticut River Valley is less suitable for farmlands.
The eastern section holds the shallow Proto-North American Terrane while the western section contains the Iapetos and Avalonian Terranes.
These places still holds remnants of glacial till and lack the soft fluvial sediments so prominent in the Connecticut River Valley region.

A Crown colony, also known in the 17th century as  royal colony, was a type of colonial administration of the English and later British Empire.
Crown, or royal colonies were ruled by a governor which is decided by the Monarch.
By the middle of the nineteenth century, the Sovereign appointed royal governors on the advice of the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
Under the name of "royal colony", the first of what would later become known as Crown colonies was the English Colony of Virginia.
This happened in 1624 after the Crown removed the Royal Charter it had given to the Virginia Company.
Until the mid-nineteenth century, the term "Crown Colony" was only used to refer to those colonies which had been obtain through wars.
Examples were Trinidad and Tobago, British Guiana, and the colonies of settlement, such as The Canadas, Newfoundland, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia, and New Zealand, later to become the Dominions.
The term continued to be used up until 1981, when the British Nationality Act 1981 reclassified the remaining British colonies as "British Dependent Territories".
From 2002 they have been known as British Overseas Territories.
