quicko: bauble
Now this one took me by surprise to see written out -- I guess I'd assumed it was "bubble" or something. It's the ornaments that are clear and spherical on Christmas trees. I'd just call them ornaments. What about you?

Reread the December chapter of Chicken Soup with Rice and you will find "a baubled, bangled Christmas tree;" however, aside from that, it tends to be an older term (my grandmother referred to baubles on the tree) that is not commonly used much these days.
'Bauble' is still used here; can refer to the ones that are opaque too.
