Holiday lighting refers to the decorative use of lights during festive seasons, particularly around Christmas and New Year's. These lights can be found on homes, trees, and public spaces, creating a cheerful atmosphere. Common types include string lights, LED displays, and inflatable decorations, often in various colors and shapes. The tradition of holiday lighting dates back to the use of candles on Christmas trees in the 17th century. Today, many people enjoy setting up elaborate displays, sometimes competing in local contests. Holiday lighting not only enhances the beauty of the season but also brings communities together in celebration.
