Christmas Tree Lights Around the World

Celebrating Christmas around the world. 
A Christmas PowerPoint Presentation of Christmas tree lights

Will and Guy invite you to enjoy Christmas trees lights from cities around the world.  Latvia in the 16th century seems an unlikely place for the Christmas tree tradition to start, however it is pretty far north and thus would have the snow and suitable evergreen trees.

Thereafter, the Germans enthusiastically decorated Christmas trees and it is here that we see the first examples of tinsel.  Indeed, it was the Georgian kings who introduced the custom to England in the 18th century, and then in the 1840s it was Prince Albert who made Christmas trees popular for the masses.

Trafalgar Square, London

From about 1895, Christmas trees lights started replacing real wax candles and coloured glass.  The infuriating design is where the bulbs are in series, one bulb blows and they all go out.  Fortunately, modern outdoor Christmas lights are designed with parallel circuitry, thus if one bulb blows the rest stay lit.

Washington DC

Celebrating Christmas around the world - American style.  It is likely that it was early German immigrants who introduced Christmas trees to America.  One of the earliest records is to be found in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.  Another age old theme is who enjoys the Christmas tree the most?  Is it the Children, or their parents who buy it and decorate with tinsel and lights, that really appreciate the tree? 

Lucerne, Switzerland

What a beautifully composed shot.  Christmas tree lights, that star, the church and a modern touch, the time-lapse effect of the car's lights.

Cornwall, England

Will and Guy would love such a tree, and such a snowfall outside our house - it would make Christmas complete.
