The origin of Christmas Lights~
The tradition of using small candles to light up the Christmas tree dates back to at least the middle of the XVIIth century. However, it took two centuries for the tradition to become widely established first in Germany and soon spreading to Eastern Europe.Candles for the tree were glued with melted wax to a tree branch or attached by pins. Around 1890, candleholders were first used for Christmas candles. Between 1902 and 1914, small lanterns and glass balls to hold the candles started to be used.
Electricity
In 1882, the first Christmas tree was lit by the use of electricity. Edward Johnson lighted up a Christmas tree in New York City with eighty small electric light bulb. It should be noted that Edward Johnson created the first string of electric Christmas lights that were then mass produced around 1890. By 1900, department stores started using the new Christmas lights for their Christmas displays.

I was going through some of my images today and I realized I didn’t show off the gals from  the rodeos I went to this past summer.  So here they are.  These gal’s ( little girls and young & older women) have a lot of jam in my opinion.  I miss the days when our daughter was a participant in rodeo’s…. I was in one or two gymkana’s …but not like the competitors in these rodeo shots…  Yeehaw !!!
