Nowadays outdoor Christmas lights are everywhere – we are so used to see them on the streets, on the community holiday tree, in the neighbour’s yard or windows. Can you imagine Christmas without them? How would Santa find his way in the dark to deliver the presents to the kids if we didn’t help him? And yes, these tiny glittering coloured lamps cast a spell on everyone and you can’t help smiling when you see them.
The tradition of outdoor Christmas lights
Outdoor Christmas lights have not been here for as long as the holiday exists. We have to go back to the middle of 17th, beginning of 18th century when small candles were used to light up the festive tree. Two centuries later, after being established in Germany, this tradition began spreading around Europe. And it all changed when Thomas Edison invented the first light bulb back in 1879 and a few years later he published his brochure where he promoted electrically powered Christmas lights. After most households were supplied with electicity, it didn’t take long before the lamps became a symbol of the Holiday along with the traditional ones and every family had them.
