We've come a long way since the days of ornaments made from stenciled glass and pipe cleaners. As any connoisseur of holiday cheer would tell you, a Christmas tree requires far more than glittering lights and nicely wrapped presents, and there's no longer an excuse for not having a Christmas tree decked out with jaw-dropping trinkets. Today's beautifully ornate ornaments give a tree personality without crossing the line into gaudiness. This holiday season, we found some of the most unique and notable ornaments to keep all your guests oohing and aahing at your Christmas tree all season long.
