Have you ever wondered why we put lights on the outside of our house?
To brighten up the short gloomy days?
Because the surrounding houses do it?
It’s fun for the kids?
It’s a friendly neighbourhood competition?
Believe it or not, lighting up the night sky is a very old tradition!
It started hundreds of years ago, when Norsemen celebrated the midwinter holiday Yule. It featured burning a log on the hearth of every home, and quickly spread across Europe.
It is also said to be a beacon of light in the darkness to symbolise Jesus, and was coupled with decorating Christmas trees with candles.
Whatever your reason for adorning your roof with garlands of twinkling lights, or projecting snowflakes on to the front of your house, let us help with the set up so you don’t have the laborious task of checking the lights each year, climbing ladders in the rain or putting away a few weeks later.
