National Outdoor Lights Day 2025
 |
Daddy would set them up and I would go outside and look at them for hours at a time. It made me feel all warm and festive inside.
Today is National Outdoor Lights Day.
It is held each July fifth and marks those times we add warmth to outdoor spaces with lights.
Gone are the days of lighting the night with fires.
We now have a wide variety of lighting with which to contemplate the environment outdoors.
Whereas I used to be an incandescent light kind of guy I find myself utilizing LED lights nowadays.
There are places where the outdoor lights are particularly spectacular. Places like Times Square at New Years Eve and the Las Vegas Strip most any time.
That light from those modern Christmas bulbs my daddy put up still warm my heart in my memories of him.
He was always about Christmas and the outdoor lights were simply the way he showed it.
Happy National Outdoor Lights Day.
