Christmas lights are an integral part of the yuletide season. These twinkling bright stars and orbs bring light, festivity and cheer to celebrate the joys of the Christmas season. Christmas lights have a long history. The first electric Christmas lights were developed in 1882 by Edward Johnson, an employee of Thomas Edison. He wired small red, white and blue bulbs together and created a string of lights to decorate his Christmas tree. Since then strings of Christmas lights have evolved into an array of different shapes, sizes and colors. White lights are typical but multicolored options are also popular. People use Christmas lights to adorn their homes, landscaping and even their Christmas trees. They are miniature works of art that turn ordinary places into winter wonderlands with a glow of warmth. Christmas light displays can range from simple strands hung in trees to extravagant synchronized light shows. The lights come in a range of sizes and styles such as c9 bulbs, icicles, candy canes and snowflakes. The lights bring smiles to young and old alike as they sneak in a moment of silence to take in the awe-inspiring beauty that the lights bring. The lights remind us of the promise of Christmas and the hope of a bright future. It is a fitting symbol of the holiday season and a reminder of the importance of community and family. Christmas lights are a beloved tradition that bring cheer straight to our doorsteps. As we look out at the night sky filled with joyous colors, the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in our hearts.
