    SPOTLIGHT ON…

    Sparkling adornments

    Prince Albert is usually credited as having introduced the Christmas tree to England in 1840 – but English Heritage says it was actually Queen Charlotte, the German wife of George III, who set up the first known Christmas tree at Queen’s Lodge, Windsor in December 1800.

    No longer decorated with real lit candles, today’s Christmas trees are oh so revealing of the decorator’s personality, whether adorned with themed perfectly matching ornaments or an eclectic mix of old favourites and new additions.

    To add some sparkle, Waterford’s handcrafted luxury crystal, dating back to 1783, is renowned for impressive brilliance and clarity. Its Christmas decorations feature intricately cut facets that will produce refractions to glisten and glow in the home enhancing the festive spirit. waterford.com
