Tip of the Week


Christmas trees and Christmas lights have been around for quite some time. Trees were once decorated with candles to light them, which was a fire waiting to happen. After Christmas lights were introduced in the late 1800s, artificial lighting slowly caught on.

It wasn't until the 1900s that people began thinking about how to pre-light a tree and save time and effort when stringing lights on one.
