Holiday light tours are a tradition that many families hold dear. A number of neighborhoods and organizations cater to the event with a display that is truly something to behold. The driver, unfortunately, is left out of the festivities, needing to pay attention to traffic and often getting frustrated with fellow onlooker’s lack of safety. Instead of coursing through the show as a “5th wheel” so to speak, consider utilizing River City Black Car & Limo Service and add luxury to the custom that allows total participation and can easily accommodate a number of passengers. In light of the holidays, River City Black Car & Limo Service would like to shine a spotlight on viewing the awesome Christmas light displays in our area.
When Did People Start Putting Christmas Lights on Their House?
During the Christmas season originally, decorating the traditional Christmas tree and house with candles was a common event that has later evolved to Christmas light displays on houses. Before spreading to Eastern Europe, 17th century Germany started the tradition of lighting the tree with small candles. With pins or melted wax, the tiny candles were attached to the tree branches. Meanwhile, the European Christians would display a burning candle in the windows of their house that was visible from the outside. The little gesture was an indication to Christians that the house was of Christian faith, and they were welcome to worship with the residents.
Christmas Light Display Shows
A once humble tradition of candles on trees and in windows has become a massive outdoor display that attract visitors with the incandescent Christmas lights that cheerfully light up the dark days of December. Most of mini lights that come with a built-in twinkle are among the most popular. With the many sizes and intricate patterns they can blink, paired with a variety of decorations and even synced with music has brought out people’s competitive spirit to see who can have the most elaborate display on their street in effort to entertain the masses.
