No more messy light strings to untangle and trip over! A fiber optic Christmas tree is an easy solution to traditional alternatives like live and artificial trees. A fiber optic tree has strands of pure glass or transparent plastic tubing surrounded by reflective coating, which projects light from one end of the strand out the other. This tree displays a spectacular light show of colors that change on a color wheel, transforming your decorating theme into a fabulously attractive display of twinkling lights. Fiber optic lights are also very energy efficient, using less energy than the average Christmas bulbs, and they are completely safe; no fire hazard, and no worries. Good news for your pets too! No more light strands pulled off the tree by your kitty, or chewed electrical cords (yikes!)!

Artificial fiber optic Christmas trees as well as fiber optic angels, santas, stars, lanterns, candles, snowflakes, and other ornaments are also available from a number of retailers both locally and online. A number of internet retailers like www.mainlandmart.com, www.amazon.com, www.ez-tree.com, or www.artificial-christmas-tree.com and many others, feature beautiful fiber optic decorations in addition to trees that light up in rotating rainbow colors. Yard ornaments are also available featuring garden stick lights with solar powered, super bright, weather proof LED color changing lights. No electrical cords are required either; these decorations use AAA rechargeable batteries that stay lit up to ten hours after fully charged. No fumbling with cords and bulbs with bulky gloves while trudging through the snow and cold. Quick and easy and back to sipping eggnog by the warmth of the fire!

If you’re a fan of full size tree, brighten your holiday season with a pre-lit artificial noble fir fiber optic Christmas tree, a favorite because of its wonderful proportions. If you don’t have a lot of space, think geek and check out trees that are powered by your computer’s USB port, or power the little tree with AAA batteries. Fiber optics is the green way to go; they use less energy than traditional Christmas bulbs, and you can pack your tree away to enjoy for years to come. They come in all different sizes to accommodate any size space, so that anyone can enjoy a festive Christmas tree lit with fiber optic power. These trees are truly beautiful and add a festive touch to your holiday light display. Enjoy the season – Merry Christmas!

Fiber Optic Christmas Tree

The tradition of taking a live evergreen tree into the home and decorating it with lights and shiny decorations obviously until after the use of electricity was wide spread. While Easton, Pennsylvania lays claim to having the first Christmas tree in the United States in 1816, other communities also claim a role in making this an annual tradition. Windsor Locks, Connecticut says it started there in 1777 and Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1821.

There is little dispute, however that German immigrant August Imgard was the first to popularize decorating a Christmas tree and the National Confectioners Association recognizes him as the first to use candy canes on a tree. In 1847, Imgard felled a tree outside his hometown in Wooster, Ohio and had a tinsmith in town fashion a metal star for the top.

Length Of Stay Often Debated By Families

In the earliest days in the United States, the Christmas tree was traditionally set up on Christmas Eve, often after young children were in bed and credit was given to Santa Claus so there might be a place under which presents could be left. The Christmas tree was typically taken down the day after Christmas, a tradition rarely observed today. Many families begin decorating their homes the weekend after Thanksgiving and leave their decorations in place until after New Year’s Day.

The length of time a tree remains in the home was lengthened after the use of the artificial Christmas tree became more widely accepted. The potential of fire from having a live tree in the home made it prudent to remove it once the tree began frying out from the warmth of the house.

Many of the artificial Christmas trees made today are remarkably lifelike and with a little bit of artificial pine scent, they look as well as smell like the real thing. They can also be found in a wide range of sizes that enable families to erect a Christmas tree is just about any room of the house they choose.
