In the Czech Republic, Christmas is very important, and it is accompanied by many traditions, such as decorating Christmas trees. Christmas decorations have been made in glass factories in North Bohemia since the 19th century. Now, it is possible to admire these beautiful decorations in the Netherlands. In several towns there are Christmas trees decorated with products of leading Czech glass companies.

Curious where you can find the trees?
