Christmas Lights, Edison and Tangles

Truth Wins

About this episode

Thomas Edison who didn’t invent Christmas. He didn’t even invent Christmas lights the way they look now, spiraling around pine branches, blinking in red-and-green rhythms. But in December of 1880, outside his Menlo Park laboratory, Edison strung incandescent bulbs along the fence line—tiny beads of warm light—partly to advertise electricity, partly to show the world that light itself could be shaped into celebration.
