Traditions of Christmas Light

This week we celebrate all the traditions of Christmas. Lights in all forms are a part of that tradition. Enjoy the following bits of folklore surrounding the use of candles, lights and fire to mark this season of faith and charity.

The Yule Log - From Eastern Europe, the Yule log burned throughout the season. It was usually the largest, greenest log available. Servants (and slaves) often soaked it in a creek, because no one had to work as long as the log burned. Legend said that as the flames consumed the log, they also consumed all the mistakes and bad choices of the past year, allowing everyone to start the New Year with a clean slate.  

Christmas Candles - Candles are a symbol for almost every religion and culture. Christians recognize the Light of Jesus, Jews celebrate the Festival of Lights, Kwanza has the ceremony of Seven Lights. A candle banishes darkness. Candlelight also beckons the approach of the New Year.  Candles, especially scented ones, were treasured in ancient cultures. They were given as gifts to promote friendship, patronage and prosperity. Candles provided light and heat to each home. They have been used in ceremonies dating back to the Roman Empire, and possibly earlier.

Candles in the Window - In medieval times, it was thought that the Christ Child wandered around the world, looking for places that would welcome him.  Candles were placed in the windows as a symbol to invite him to enter.

Christmas Tree Lights - The tree represents the cross where Christ died, and lights are a symbol of His presence, the Light of the World. May He light your world this Christmas season.

Light also signifies the beauty of the season and the light in our hearts. Remember that "Ye are the light of the world.... Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matt. 5:14,16

As you enjoy the traditions of Christmas, may you be blessed with joy and peace, and may you be a light and blessing in someone else's world.

How to Hang Outdoor Christmas Lights

How to hang outdoor Christmas lights is a big ordeal for a lot of people. Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy and laughter, but the whole process of putting up outdoor Christmas lights kills a lot of the fun. You should have some basic idea about how to put hang outdoor Christmas lights, so you can enjoy this as much as other yuletide activities.

Hanging outdoor Christmas lights is not necessarily a difficult task. Take a look at our tips to simplify the job and make it a fun filled activity.

Tip # 1

Plan early. Before Christmas is knocking on the door, you should know what exactly you want to do with your outdoor Christmas lights. If it snows and gets really cold where you live, start thinking about it right from the end of August, when the weather is still comfortable. A good idea is to hang icicle lights around the top of your house. For this, you have to screw in hooks under the roof. If you do that, you can put up the lights in a few minutes and there's no way you can make a mess of things. This is also applicable if you want lights around your porch or deck.

Tip # 2

You would do well to put up the lights as early as October or November when it's not that cold. When the holiday season is around the corner, you can fit in a timer and turn them on.

Tip # 3

You can teach your kids how to hang outdoor Christmas lights. They can do all the untangling while you do the actual job of putting the lights up. If the hooks are in place, putting up the outdoor Christmas lights is a piece of cake. Put the wires over the hook and they will stay in position; there will be no risk of damaging the lights.

Tip # 4

From time to time, you will need to change the hooks (they are prone to rusting). But you surely don't have to do that every year. Let the hooks be after the holiday season too. You can use them again the year coming.

Tip # 5

Measurements are important. You need to have at least a rough idea about the measurements of your home so you have enough lights to decorate the space.

Tip #6

Make sure to test your lights before hanging them.

Tip # 7

Get all the tools you need. These include a tape measure, pliers, a hammer and a ladder to complete the job.

Tip # 8

Your ladder needs to be planted on flat ground. It is better and safer to have someone hold it when you are up on it.

Tip # 9

Hang the lights along eaves. Take your time and be careful not to damage your home walls. If you want lights attached to your gutter, use plastic clips. These will stick with the gutter and hold the lights and extension cord.

Solar Christmas Lights for Trees and Holiday Lighting

Improvements in technology now mean that the costs of Christmas lights powered by solar energy have reduced to the point that everyone can now afford them. And the best part is that once you have bought and installed them the cost of lighting them is free.

Solar powered lights require no connections to an outlet so there is no electric bill for solar lighting.

Of course you have to live in an area where you get sufficient sunlight each day to charge up the batteries with solar energy during the winter season especially around the Christmas holidays.

Even if it is cloudy it can still be possible to charge a battery enough for good night time lighting, however it is always best to check that the type you are looking to purchase will do this if it is of concern to you.

As with all solar lights installation is easy. Your main problem is going to be finding a location with direct access to sun light for the mini solar panel that collects the suns energy to charge up the power unit. But now there is no need for long and dangerous extension cords trailing around the floor.

You can even get solar lights for Christmas trees which are totally for outdoor use and which will cope with whatever the weather chooses to throw at them. So now you can easily put lights on trees in your yard that were previously out of reach.

A typical scenario might be a string of say 60 lights on a tree along your driveway which are charged by the sun during the day and which turn on automatically at dusk and then run for about eight hours during the night with no energy cost at all.

There are now many different solar lighting solutions designed specifically for use at Christmas and other holiday occasions. Due to the new technology, miniaturization and the use of LED lights you can now find many new and innovative designs that previously you could only dream about.

Solar powered Christmas lights for both indoor and outdoor use are now available in many different fixtures and fittings to suit any use or location you many want them for.

You can of course also use them year round with no energy costs to enhance your yard, property or trees in any way you wish and most units will continue to illuminate from dusk till dawn.

There are many different designs available including string lights, snowman lights, Santa lights, Christmas tree lights, stake lights, garlands, reindeer, snow balls, stars, maple leaves, flowers and in fact almost everything you can imagine for displaying a Christmas theme. And these are all available in many different and beautiful colors.

So now it is easy to create a really festive Christmas attraction or a party atmosphere and decorate a tree or building with one or more sets of solar powered lights designed specially for the holiday season. And you can do all this with no electric cost using free energy direct from the sun.
