Lights are a major tradition at Christmastime. Originally starting with candles in the 18th century, Christmas lights became increasingly popular with the advent of electricity and lightbulbs.
People use Christmas lights to decorate their Christmas trees, the interior of their house, the exterior of their house, and some towns even develop massive displays and light shows to attract viewers, such as the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
Christmas lights can be large or small, and multicolored or a single color, all subject to personal preference. To get into the holiday spirit, check out these fun photos involving Christmas lights.
