Today is National Christmas Lights Day!

“Friday Fun Fact” Today is National Christmas Lights Day! Before electric lights, families risked candles on trees. Enter Thomas Edison who lit up his lab in 1880! Initial skepticism led to a slow start, but by 1903, General Electric made Christmas lights kits for all! Who knew?

I like December 1 being National Christmas Lights Day! I love a few days to savor and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday and its message. Then come December, I‘m ready to make the transition to our next major holiday.

Today, these twinkling lights are a festive staple for all winter celebrations.

Let's deck our halls, our trees, our yards, and our home exteriors with lights and celebrate the season!
