Happy Wednesday!
Today is National Christmas Lights Day!
#NationalChristmasLightsDay #ChristmasLightsDay
Christmas lights—lights that are hung up on Christmas trees inside, and outside on buildings, trees, and other things—are celebrated today. They were invented in the early 1880s by Edward H. Johnson, an associate of Thomas Edison. On December 22, 1882, he lit his Christmas tree with 80 incandescent light bulbs, at his home in New York City. Prior to this time, candles were the only way to illuminate trees, and it still took many years before electric lights became the main way trees were lit, and before outside Christmas lights became popular. Lights originally were put on trees by Christians, and they symbolized Christ as being the light of the world.
How to Observe National Christmas Lights Day
Celebrate National Christmas Lights Day by putting up Christmas lights. Put them up on a tree, inside around your house, or outside on your house or on trees in your yard. Maybe you even can program your light display to synchronize with music, or enter a Christmas lights contest, which some towns and cities have. After you get your lights up, walk around your neighborhood to see what others have up, or go downtown or to public places like parks to see light displays.
