id=\"abm\">\n<div id=\"abc\">\n<div id=\"articlebody\">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.<\/p>\n<h3>Electricity<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>excerpt from about.com inventors&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2922\" alt=\"DSC_3266 copy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aprilrobertsportraits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_3266-copy.jpg\" width=\"890\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.aprilrobertsportraits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_3266-copy.jpg 890w, http:\/\/www.aprilrobertsportraits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_3266-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.aprilrobertsportraits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/DSC_3266-copy-449x300.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/>Merry Christmas !<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
