Christmas Train Ornaments

by jptanabe

If you love Christmas trains, why not add a Christmas train ornament to your tree!

Christmas trains have somehow become an important part of Christmas. They appear in displays at stores and other public places; and model train sets are often placed around the tree in homes for the holidays.

If you don't have room for a model train set around your tree, why not get some Christmas train ornaments for your tree? There are crystal train ornaments, glass ornaments, and special "shatterproof" unbreakable ones that work better with young children, or perhaps cats, in the house!

"Santa's Christmas Train"

Ever wondered (I have) why we have Christmas trains complete with Santa and his presents? I mean, the Santa I know and love flies through the air on a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer! So where did the train come from?

This delightful book by Joseph J. Caro tells a wonderful story about the Christmas train tradition. Containing full color illustrations it is an uplifting story for the whole family.

Christopher Radko Glass

Christmas Train Ornaments

Christopher Radko has revived the almost forgotten art of European mouth-blown, hand-painted glass ornaments. It began when his own family's Christmas ornaments were shattered as the tree stand collapsed. Not only were the family memories irreplaceable, but Radko soon found that the ornaments themselves were very hard to find. So, he started his own business and began to create "memories in the making." This book presents the designs from the first fourteen years of his work.

Christopher Radko ornaments are truly special! It's not just their bright colors; they are truly works of art. Each Christopher Radko ornament is made of glass that is mouth blown and hand painted by skilled European artisans. The process takes a whole week! After inspection, the Radko charm and ornament crown are attached. Approximately one-third of Christopher Radko ornaments are retired each year, making them wonderful collectors' items!

Here are a couple of examples. Aren't they gorgeous?

Coca-Cola Trains!

Kurt Adler Coca-Cola Ornaments

This black and red antique style engine ornament features Coca Cola bottle caps for wheels. The train measures  2.5-inches tall and has a red ribbon to hang the ornament.

The sleigh carries Coca-Cola sleigh us filled with ice cold bottles of Coke - to the North Pole to keep Santa and his elves happy while they work!

Personalized train ornaments

 

This cute and colorful Christmas train ornament measures 4" wide x 3 3/4" high, and is personalized!

You can have a name printed on the smoke cloud, and year printed on the engine window. 

Unbreakable Train Ornaments

Wooden Train Ornaments

If you have little kids, you might want to consider something less breakable than the beautiful glass ornaments. Here is a great idea - wooden train ornaments.

I have cats not little kids. So maybe these would work well for me too!

Made of high quality wood, safe, shatterproof and lightweight. Six colorful engines each with a string to hang them on your tree.
