Christmas Posting 2020: #1 Christmas Lights
Mychiller Christmas on Croglog 
One of the most noted features for the Christmas is the Christmas Lights. That's right they are part of the decorating process more than anything, they go in the trees, the go on the walls, anywhere where you can reach them with an outlet, or stretch with an extension cord. (wonderful)
It works for the time of year where darkness settles in before 5PM, bringing light to dark winter' s night, where the nights are long. Christmas is the light in the darkness , so to speak. Where did the idea of putting a bunch of extra lights on things for a holiday come from?
There's a story that connects us to the protestant reformation, specially, Martin Luther. (Yes) There's also the idea the Christmas tree idea conceptually originated in what is modern Germany where yes, Martian Luther was also from. (timing!) The story goes that Luther was in the German forest thinking about his sermon (of course!) and wasn't paying attention to time and it got dark. Of course, this is a forest, meaning that things live there, and some of those things like to come out a night, and they might also be a danger. Luther grew worried, and wandered around until he realized that the night means starts.(That's right he saw Ethel Merman, oh you mean the other stars, never mind!)
The twinkling stars and especially in the evergreen trees. He was inspired and didn't get eaten by animals, that'd be a dark story.
I'm impressed
