Abstract

Abstract This package contains four different lengths of garland or other elongated flexible ornamentation to drape a Christmas tree at various levels, and to make it easy to drape the tree. To drape the upper end of a Christmas tree, a shortest length of ornament is used. As you drape at lower levels, the lengths of the ornamentation increase. Also the garland for upper levels are of less diameter than the garlands for the lower levels. The package comprises a box that contains separate holders for each length of garland. The holders are of uniform dimension from side to side to fit into a box of uniform width. All the holders are of uniform height to fit the height (or thickness) of the box. A holder holding a greater length of garland is of greater dimension lengthwise of the box than a holder holding a shorter garland. To facilitate use, the box has a window to expose part of the garland on each holder with the windows differing in size corresponding to the lengths of the garlands on said holders.
