As metal, plastic and glass xmas ornaments were in short supply before the latter half of the last century, wood christmas ornaments were the traditional choice for decorating the family tree.  Glass xmas ornaments were available as early as the 1700's but the cost of obtaining them was prohibitive to the lower classes.  Wood christmas ornaments were often whittled by male members of the family and passed down as heirlooms from generation to generation.

Making your own wood christmas ornaments is still a popular craft that can be shared by older family members.  All it involves is finding a small block of wood and a whittling knife and some paint for adding color to the finished product.  However keep in mind that as a project, creating these types of wooden xmas ornaments are not ideal craft projects for younger children who don't know how to handle knives.

However, perhaps the simplest of wood christmas ornaments is simply those made from popsicle sticks.  Youngsters can overlay the popsicle sticks in the shape of a cross or star or snowflake and sprinkle them with glitter.  These types of xmas ornaments can also be decorated with paint or markers or made more three-dimensional by gluing on beads, tinsel, cotton batten or sequins.
