These are my personal favorites because they are the traditional Christmas lights that have been around for many years. They produce warm, glowing light and are available in various bulb shapes, such as

Brief History of Christmas Light

There are so many Christmas traditions, and Christmas lights are one of them we are talking about. I love the aroma of colors because it gives me the feel of Christmas everywhere. Through this tradition, we all follow we get the feel of the importance of these most significant events.

Christmas lights started long ago in Germany when candles were used as lights to light up Christmas trees by attaching them to branches with pins or melted wax. 

In the 17th Century, European Christians burned candles in the windows of their houses to light the environment and show others that they could worship there. Eventually, that tradition of lights went to America and other parts of the world most admirable and vital part of Christmas. 

But as I’m sure you can imagine, the danger that fire causes. Back then, even the insurance companies disagreed with paying for fires caused by candles at Christmas because people were aware of the danger it could cause but continued using candles for Christmas lights. 

Candles also last briefly, and people kept water buckets nearby in case of a problem. But then again. It was costly and didn’t last. When it comes down to it, Christmas string lights were just beneficial incidents that were safe and beautiful.

In 1880, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb and sought a way to advertise it. So he hung lights outside his laboratory to show them off to passersby.

A couple of years later, it was realized that the lights could solve the problem of fires caused by candles on Christmas trees. In short, it was the best thing to light up the Christmas occasion.

With the dazzling colors of Christmas, these blue, red, and green lights made the headlines in the newspapers and enhanced the beauty of the white house.

Soon after, these became standard Christmas lights but were only affordable for some houses. But Christmas lights were costly because they needed to be installed, and electricians were few and far between at the time. So, not everyone could access the Christmas lights.

As the holiday season approaches, neighborhoods worldwide start to sparkle with the warm and inviting glow of Christmas lights. These twinkling bulbs have become synonymous with the festive spirit.
