The practice of decorating Christmas trees began in 16th-century Germany, where families brought evergreen trees into their homes and lit them with candles to symbolize Christ as the light of the world. Although beautiful, these candles were hazardous and often led to fires. By the late 19th century, safer lighting options started to replace candles. Right now, 1 oz Colorized Scottsdale Lighting the Tree Silver Bars are available at BGASC.

History

In 1882, Edward H. Johnson, a colleague of Thomas Edison, introduced the first electric Christmas tree lights. He hand-wired 80 red, white, and blue bulbs and wrapped them around his tree. It wasnt until 1890 that Christmas lights were mass-produced, and even then, they were considered a luxury. By the 1930s, as electricity became more common, Christmas lights became more affordable and popular.
