Key Christmas Ornament

Great Ornament Gift for a new home owner - First Apartment

Finding an old key often provokes feelings of curiosity. Even the word “key” means a tool that opens physical, intellectual, or spiritual barriers. Who held the key?  What wonderful thing did it open? Is there treasure that someone lost or hid?

Locks and keys can also be used to protect one's most valued belongings or to secure the gates of a walled city, so having a key is both a symbol of trust and conquest. Historically, a key or set of keys signified wealth. To have a lock indicated you had something worth stealing.

Some cultures see the key as a symbol of good luck and when worn provided the wearer with the ability to open physical and spiritual barriers. A key can be given as a gift “key to her heart”. AND let us not forget the privilege of receive the “key to the city” a symbol of honor. This act can be traced all the way back to the middle ages.
