As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in the buzz of planning and shopping. Yet, there’s something magical about looking back at Christmases past—a time when celebrations were simpler but filled with the warmth of family, community, and timeless traditions. At House of Pixen™, we celebrate the enduring beauty of Christmas traditions, both old and new, with handcrafted decorations that evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection.
The Stories Our Decorations Tell
In centuries past, Christmas decorations weren’t just about beauty—they were rich with symbolism. Ornaments were handmade, often using natural materials like pinecones, dried fruits, and hand-carved wood. These decorations told stories of the family’s heritage, their hopes for the coming year, and their connection to the natural world.
At House of Pixen, we honor these roots. Many of our handcrafted ornaments are inspired by the vintage styles of yesteryear, blending artisanal craftsmanship with timeless design. From delicate glass baubles reminiscent of Victorian Christmas trees to rustic wooden stars that feel at home in any cabin, our pieces help you bring the charm of Christmas past into the present.
A Glimpse into Global Traditions
Christmas traditions around the world offer a kaleidoscope of joy and meaning. In Germany, where the Christmas tree originated, families would hang glass ornaments that glimmered in candlelight. In Scandinavian countries, handcrafted straw ornaments and woven hearts graced their trees, celebrating simplicity and nature.
These global influences resonate deeply in our curated collection. By partnering with artisans worldwide, we’ve gathered pieces that celebrate the universal beauty of Christmas while adding a personal, handmade touch to your holiday decor.
Nostalgia Meets Modernity
Recreating the essence of Christmas past doesn’t mean forsaking the present. In fact, blending old-world charm with modern convenience is a hallmark of House of Pixen. Imagine a cozy evening decorating your home with ornaments that feel steeped in tradition, but with designs that complement contemporary spaces. Our curated collection brings this balance to life, offering heirloom-quality pieces that will be cherished for generations.

Christmas is about connection—both to the past and to those around us. This holiday season, why not embrace a tradition from your own family history or adopt one from another culture?
