Christmas trees decorated with lights, colorful bulbs and tinsel have been popular for many years. Wreaths and garlands made from evergreen branches are also popular choices. Many people hang twinkling lights on their homes during the Christmas season.
Most people like to stay at home. There are parties to go out to. There are pantomimes on. There are usually some special shows or exhibitions on, different ones each year. There have been ice skating rinks opened some years for example. Over the course of Christmas there are some horse racing meetings, like in Limerick or Leopardstown. The big cities have lights and decorations, with some shops having well decorated windows. Some houses also get decorated with lights outside and can be good to see. There is always lots happening around Christmas in Ireland.

He was 36 years old at that time.
I would not say that he started a tradition, but he had an outdoor tree decorated for Christmas on the White House lawn. It was about 20 years before anymore White House Christmas trees appeared.
I think Christmas lights should be turned off a few days after New Years day.
Better than anywhere else. Every year I decorate my 8 foot green artificial tree with 400 white lights. It is decorated with decorations from around the world which have been collected over the years. My colour scheme is traditionally green, red and gold. I must say (although I am biased) my tree looks fab so much so it has the wow factor when friends and family see it finished
I have spent many Christmases in Cozumel and it is a beautiful time of the year. The weather is nice (high 70s) and though the water is still warm, I would recommend wearing a wetsuit if you plan to go diving. The Square is decorated with lights and a giant Christmas tree, and most years there are pageants and plays with the local children in the days leading up to Christmas. The atmosphere is wonderful. I would definitely recommend spending Christmas in Cozumel, especially if you're a scuba diver; there is nothing like Christmas underwater in one of the most breathtaking reef systems in the world.
hundreds of years ago, this used to be a pagan custom, they started out with real wax candles and finally graduated to electric lights in the 20th century.
How to Set Up Outdoor Christmas LightingIt's the time of year again when people are decorating their lawns and homes with Christmas lights. But what is the right way to display lights at your home so your neighbors don't think you have gone overboard? Well, the first thing you want to do is keep decorations simple. Unless you live in a neighborhood that goes all out for Christmas, you don't need to have lights on every single square inch of the home. Add some small lights to the front porch and the roof of your home so people who drive by can see them.Inflatable decorations have become very popular over the past few years. They come in a variety of sizes, and you can get just about any character you can think of. Once again, you don't need ten inflatables in your yard during the holidays. One or two is plenty to get you and the neighbors in the holiday spirit. If you want to decorate the trees in your yard, work with the lights on so you can see where the lights will be when you get the tree decorated. Start at the bottom and work your way up with the lights. Add some candy canes around the tree that will allow the lights to shine through them when the lights are on at night.
You get Fairy lights at Christmas and a New Years Day. Hope that helped.
The Christmas lights at Temple Square are on from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve each year. The lights turn on as soon as the sun sets (usually 5 p.m.) and are on until 9 p.m. each night, when Temple Square closes for the night. Some lights may be left on later than this, but the gates to Temple Square will be closed.
