National Christmas Lights Day 2023
Some of the fondest of my childhood memories revolve around the decorations my parents placed in honor of the season.
It is said that electric Christmas lights were first invented in 1880 by Thomas Edison. Over the years I have learned to take statements of inventions attributed to Edison with a grain of salt given the massive credit he claimed for the work of others during his career.Regardless, Christmas lights remain an essential part of those decorations which make our spirits bright in the joyous season.
I marked the day by erecting my mothers fiber optic Christmas tree at which we have gazed when we can.
Now if only we could scrape up a few feet of snow !
Happy National Christmas Lights Day to you !
