The History of Christmas Lights

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! In the Western world, it is a longstanding tradition to celebrate the joyous season with colourful and cheerful decorations. There is certainly no one or right way to bring about festivities to this time of year. For some people, the day feels special and cozy enough with just a minimal Christmas tree and some string lights in the living room. For many others, it is all about the extravagant lighting scheme with a “more is more” approach. It goes without saying that Christmas lights play a significant role in this tradition.
