Christmas
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas lights, trees and decorations are all this way, oh what fun it is to visit Festive Lights today… sorry. Here is the home of all things Christmas; including all of the inspiration you need to make your display dazzle this year. Remember, not all of your Christmas decorations need to be hung from a Christmas tree, why not spread the joy… ‘Tis the season to be jolly after all.
Christmas is now arguably as much a cultural celebration as it is a religious one. Some traditions are still very much tied to the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ though, including the practice of putting up Christmas lights and decorations. Originally these were mostly based around the nativity, but more recent practices are often more generic, though red, gold and green are still the most common colours at Christmas, and these do have religious significance.
Nowadays it’s hard to imagine a Christmas without wreaths and garlands, twinkling fairy lights and depictions of Santa, snowmen and reindeer. Lights have moved from the living room throughout the house and are increasingly used, along with various decorations, outdoors. Christmas trees became commonplace sometime in the 19th Century and it’s now rare to find a home without one.
