Outdoor tree decorations can make a huge difference in the look of your home. Formerly mainly used as winter holiday decorations, fairy lights can be used in any place in any season. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, from standard Christmas tree lights and white fairy lights to seasonal ornaments for holidays throughout the year. With the addition of solar power and some backup batteries, you can get lawn lighting even in the event of a power outage – and get seasonal embellishments without adding to your electricity bills.
Why lights for Christmas
Long ago, Christians put a candle in their window to show their faith and to lead others to worship with them. Or perhaps it was an even older custom, like putting a candle in a window to guide travelers to a safe haven during bitter winter storms. Putting lights on an evergreen tree symbolized that Jesus of Nazareth had brought light into the world, and the tree showed that it was always green – just like the fir trees. Candles on an evergreen tree were dangerous, however, as the flames could set the resinous branches on fire. Thomas Edison, the father of the electric light bulb, created the first electric fairy lights – a safer way to light a tree.
Extended use for decorative lights
Fairy lights are a quick and easy way to make a lawn more visible, to recognize paths or to achieve a decorative effect. One of the most common are the tiny white fairy lights that can create works of art of deciduous trees that drop their leaves. However, as electric lights have become cheaper to manufacture and maintain, seasonal ornamental lights have been created such as small pumpkins, hearts, or just about any shape you want. Check out ten creative ways you can use lights here.
