No, no. No "Christmas tree balls"; that must be some Yankee saying, or something. We have lights (sometimes with subcategories such as bubble lights); the star; ornaments of ALL shapes [harrumph]; bead garlands; tinsel garlands; and lastly, icicles.

We do have all those categories too, but the stuff you hang with the little hooks - thoses are balls whether they are balls or not.

At our house, everything that you hang from "the little hooks" are ornaments. However, we would probably include all the glass or pseudo-glass ornaments that are non-representational in the sub-class of ornaments called balls, i.e. any shape as long as it's not meant to be a bird or a snowman or an icicle or ... The balls go on before the rest of the ornaments because the balls are just pretty while the "rest" are meaningful or special - stuff the kids made, commemoratives, etc.

I can't find much support for "shiny bright" as a synonym
