This kind of balls seem the very traditional & popular decorations for Christmas in China. How is the situation abroad? Planned to chase some purple flash balls to do this kind of reflection shoot, but they are tooo high. So, now, 3 blue jing’s Christmas reflection….haha. Still busy with moving and fix of the new flat… Have great time~~

  Jing,

  The glass balls are still very popular in the U.S. I think they’ve been around since about the 1940s.

  We often use them as table decorations with several balls placed in a glass bowl or dish~~colorful.

  Good luck with your new apartment.

  The ornaments are similar here, but often, in my opinion, too traditional in coloring. These blue ones and reflections are nice in nontraditional blue.
