In times before the 1800's.... and during too.... Christmas Trees were decorated with candles. But there were many fire outbreaks which began causing problems.
In 1885 a entire hospital had burnt down because of candles on a Christmas Tree. This happened in Chicago.
Then thankfully, inventors came to the rescue in 1895 with the invention of the Christmas Lights.
It took until the early 1900's for it to be widely accepted and used. But thank goodness it was because December is by far the prettiest month of the year.
It feels like Christmas provides a perfect celebration to end each year. Happy, bright and festive.
