圣诞灯
外观
圣诞灯(英语:Christmas lights),又称仙女灯、童话灯(英语:Fairy lights),是庆祝圣诞节而装饰的灯,经常在整个圣诞节期间展出,包括将临期和圣诞节浪潮。
这个习俗可以追溯到圣诞树用蜡烛装饰的时候,因为基督教象征圣诞灯是世界之光[1]。另外,因为导致建筑与家庭的风险,欧洲联盟委员会将圣诞灯视为危险装饰品[2]。

German families brought a small tree into the home at Christmas time as a symbol of the Christ child, and decorated the boughs with cutout paper flowers, bright foil, apples, sweets, and other fancy treats. Another feature of Christmas that took a uniquely American turn in the nineteenth century is the tradition of Christmas lights. Candles were traditionally placed on the Christmas tree to symbolize Jesus as the light of the world.
