History behind the Holiday Lighting

The tradition of using lights during the holiday season dates back centuries. In ancient times, people would light candles to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. This practice eventually evolved into the use of candles on Christmas trees, a tradition that originated in Germany during the 17th century.

As technology advanced, candles were replaced with safer alternatives like oil lamps and later, electric lights. The invention of the first practical light bulb by Thomas Edison in 1879 revolutionized the way we illuminate our homes during the holiday season. Today, holiday lights come in various forms, from traditional incandescent bulbs to energy-efficient LED lights, allowing us to create dazzling displays that captivate and inspire.
