Christmas Light Day

"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 Dec. 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"

On December 1st every year is a national day. I was reading on the internet (what's above). I never know that people would put candles in their christmas tree. To me that's a little scary. I wonder how many house were lost in that time. It still nice to learn something new. I love christmas lights they make the holidays so bright. Winter is a hard time for people in the north December is the hardest month. We have only 10 hrs of sunlight a day. Its cold, wet, and gloomy. Some people have a hard time because of the holidays, it may be that they don't have family or they had a bad christmas in the past. We should all be nice to each other we never know what they have been though.
