Americans have been decorating homes with Christmas lights since the 17th century and possibly before.
While there was no electricity at that, time ornate collections of candles could be found within the homes of America's more wealthy residents.
Then in 1882, electric Christmas lights were introduced and holiday festivities would never be the same.
According to Wikipedia, the first known electrically illuminated Christmas tree was the creation of Edward H. Johnson, an associate of inventor Thomas Edison. While he was vice president of an electric company he had Christmas tree bulbs made especially for him. He proudly displayed his illuminated tree, which was hand wired with 80 red, white and blue incandescent light bulbs the size of walnuts on Dec. 22 1882 at his home on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
"Local newspapers ignored the story, seeing it as a publicity stunt. However, it was published by a Detroit newspaper reporter and Johnson has since become widely regarded as the Father of electric Christmas tree lights," states Wikipedia. "In 1895 U.S. President Grover Cleveland proudly sponsored the first electrically lit Christmas tree in the White House. It was a huge specimen, featuring more than a hundred multicolored lights."
The first commercially produced lights were manufactured in strings with multiples of eight sockets by General Electric. From these humble beginnings, Americans would take lighting to a whole other level.
"It seems to be human nature that once we get a good thing, we can't get enough of it," states the online site www.christmaslore.com. "People were so pleased with electric Christmas lights that they began looking for more ways to use them. Hence, the evolution of the Christmas lights from tree only decorations to house wide candelabras."
The site explains that in the beginning lights started plain and were over time colored and made into every thinkable shape and size.
"There are icicle lights for your gutters and net lights for your bushes," quipped the site.
Individuals can even find prefabricated wire molds that hold colored lights in position creating fake trees, mangers, sheep, camels, wise men, bunnies, even Santa Claus and his reindeer.
The fact is that most anything a person can image is most likely being fashioned into a wire light set as this article is written.
The U.S. is not the only country with a long standing tradition of Christmas light display, it has been adopted by many other cultures most notably Japan, according to wikipedia.com.
The technology used in light displays has continued to grow displaying a highly diverse cornucopia of choice from simple light strands to full-blown animated puppets which uses complex illuminated animatronics and statues.
Christmas lights, also called twinkle lights, holidays lights and mini lights in the U.S. and fairy lights in the U.K.
Wikipedia goes on to explain that displays of Christmas lights in public venues and on public buildings are a popular part of the annual celebrations nearly everywhere the holiday is observed.
The holiday light displays have even become synonymous with certain neighborhoods around the world.
Annual displays on Oxford St. in London have been adored by the business community and public alike.
The Holiday Trail of Light, a joint effort between towns in Louisiana and Texas, started in 1927 which makes it one of the oldest light celebrations in the United States.
And then there's the Tacky Xmas Decoration Contest and Grand Highly Illuminated House Tour, which has become a widely popular Christmas decoration competition.
Not to be outdone, Price city has a light contest all their own. Not to mention the festivities that are carried on in Helper all season long.
Residents and businesses within the Price city limits will be eligible to participate in the Sixth Annual Griswold Holiday lighting contest.
The event will be judged by the Price City Community Progress Committee.
Areas of Price will be split into four quadroons for judging.
The homes will be judged on the following criteria:
â¢Uniform theme.
â¢Most effective use of lights.
Judging will take place between Dec. 8 and 12 and the winners will be announced on Dec. 16.
Yards that won last year will not be eligible for the 2008 contest.
In addition, the Helper Light Parade will be conducted at 7 p.m. on Dec. 5 and Dec. 6.
Sunnyside celebrated the city's festivities by turning on the park's light at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 1.

WASHINGTON, .C. (WUSA) -- The D.C. Medical Examiner's Office delivered the wrong body to a grieving South Carolina family.
Instead of sending medical researcher Kevin Ridge home, the morgue sent an unidentified homeless man who had died five months earlier.
Ridge died suddenly in his hotel room while visiting DC for a scientific conference.
Ridge's mother and sisters have now sued the city and two funeral homes involved in the transfer for millions of dollars.
The story was first reported in the Washington City Paper.

(WBBH) One of the most poisonous animals on planet earth is helping cancer survivors deal with the side effects of chemotherapy.
A Port Charlotte, Florida research clinic is testing a new drug which uses toxins from the pufferfish to eliminate pain.
Joyce Klingle, a participant in the clinical trial, says she is on her feet a lot.
"When you're at work, you just keep going. When your feet hurt, that's too bad you just keep going," she says.
She beat breast cancer six years ago; but chemotherapy left her with neuropathy in her feet and fingertips.
She described the painful disease.
"It's burning pins and needles pricking the bottom of your feet all the time. Your fingertips get numb and you can't pick up anything; you can't hold anything," Klingle explains.
She tried different pain medication, but nothing worked. It still hurt to move packages and stand all day long.

LAWRENCEVILLE A faulty furnace has been cited in a fire that destroyed a home early Monday, St. Lawrence County fire investigators said.
No one was home when the blaze broke out at 115 Brooklyn Road at 12:43 a.m., according to investigators. Lawrenceville firefighters spent about two hours at the scene.
Investigators said the single-story, wood-frame structure, owned by Diane and Elmer Rose, County Route 52, was insured. It was declared a total loss.
Tenant Sanya Snyder and four children lived in the home, investigators said. The American Red Cross was called to assist.

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah or Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature Park is an extensive culture-based park, the prime showcase of Indonesia's rich cultural and natural diversity located in East Jakarta.
Popularly known as Taman Mini, the core of the Park are 26 exclusive replicas of traditional houses of chieftains found throughout the Indonesian archipelago from Aceh to Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Java and Papua. These are pavilions displaying the history, arts and crafts and traditions of each of the provinces. Built for education and family fun, Taman Miini has large areas for family recreation, a number of flora and fauna parks, various museums, performing theatres, an Imax theatre and accommodation facilities.
To further express Indonesia's tolerance and peaceful coexistence among the different religions in the archipelago here stand in a row the different houses of worship that are still actively used: a mosque, a Hindu temple, a Buddhist temple, a Catholic church and a Protestant church.
Nearby is a large lake with islands in the shapes of the original Indonesian archipelago. From the sky lift that passes over the lake visitors can see clearly the entire map of Indonesia in the lake.
Taman Mini is the brainchild of the late Ibu Tien Soeharto, former Indonesian First Lady. Construction of Taman Mini began in 1971 and it was officially inaugurated on April 20, 1975.
The Park has as chief mission the preservation and development of the various Indonesian cultures as a media to strengthen the nation's unity and integrity and to instill these values especially in the young generation.
For visitors who have little time to explore the Indonesian islands, Taman Mini is a good introduction to what this country has to offer in diversity and culture. During weekends and holidays Taman Mini is an ideal theme park for families to become more acquainted with other regional cultures.

Top 4 New Backyard Chippers: Apple Orchard Comparison Test
Steam hissing from a ruptured radiator hose? Here's a relatively easy, temporary fix with duct tape.
Wait for the engine to cool off. Open the hood and locate the source of the steam--i.e., the rupture (A). Clean and dry the area around the fissure; the tape won't stick as well on a damp, dirty surface.
Wrap 2 to 3 in. of duct tape around the hose over the hole; press firmly (B).
Overwrap the patch (the hose will be under intense pressure) from 2 to 3 in. above the original piece to about 2 or 3 in. below, then work your way back (C). Check your radiator level before cranking the engine. "If it's seriously low and you don't have a can of coolant, use water or, in an emergency, diet soda," says Tony Molla of the National Institute of Automotive Service Excellence and former pro wrench jockey. "Avoid using fruit juice or anything with sugar or acids in it. It'll corrode the radiator and hoses."
Viruses and spyware can unleash a host of evils upon your PC, ranging from annoying pop-ups to a zombie system takeover. Security expert John Pironti of the nonprofit security agency ISACA suggests a layered approach to safeguarding your computer.
Lock It Down: "Go to the security section of your Control Panel and enable the firewall before your PC ever touches the Internet," Pironti advises. Then install a virus protection program and set it to download virus signatures every week.
Clean It Up: Once a week, do a full virus scan with a program like Symantec's Norton AntiVirus (symantec.com), McAfee VirusScan (mcafee.com) or AVG Anti-Virus (free.grisoft.com). Pironti also says you should run a free spyware checker, such as SpyBot-S&D (safer-networking.org) or CCleaner (ccleaner.com).

WeÂ're always looking out for a fresh face, especially one with a certain taste level, to add to our roster of stylish stars. TodayÂ's Girl of the Month, Lily Collins, is an ideal example of what weÂ're perpetually seeking. The multi-tasking young ladyÂ--more on that laterÂ--has an independent, wholly personal, and quite thoughtful way of putting herself together and is wise beyond her years (fashion-wise we mean!).
Collins took time away from her busy life of studies (sheÂ's a Broadcast Journalism student at USC) and hosting duties (sheÂ's the new pop culture correspondent for Nickelodeon) to chat with us about her style icons, must-visit stores, and where she finds her favorite accessories. She also walked us through each of her above outfits and gave us the details on every look.
While many up-and-coming young ladies totally depend on stylists and only wear borrowed clothes for events, Collins dresses herself. The London-born, LA-raised budding journalist primarily sticks to jewel tones (Â"IÂ'm really fair, so pale colors wash me outÂ") and nods to her English roots via slightly prim (by Hollywood standards, anyway) silhouettes.
Aside from her smart color choices and demure, yet sophisticated outfits, we also admire how Collins always mixes price points. SheÂ's wholly unconcerned with the pedigree of a particular shoe or skirtÂ--mall brands to major designers are all welcomedÂ--just as long as is pleases her fancy. For example, at a book signing party for VogueÂ's Hamish Bowles (first image, above left), Collins wore a navy Oscar de la Renta dress with sandals from Walk, an inexpensive UK-based shoe company. SheÂ's also a major vintage sleuth and scours the local LA flea markets and vintage expos for choice finds, like her fantastic crocodile-embossed clutch. In short, Collins has thoughtful, refined, and age-appropriate personal style and is definitely one to watch. Â--JESSICA AMENTO
A few of Lily's favorite things...
Style Icons: Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Agyness Deyn, Rachel Bilson, America Ferrera
Spring Accessory: Tom Ford sunglasses
Designers: Marc Jacobs, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Vivienne Westwood
Shops: (London) Topshop, Vivienne Westwood, Selfridges (Los Angeles) Paperbag Princess (Â"IÂ'm like a kid in a candy store in that store.Â"), Barneys, Marc Jacobs, Theory (Â"I love their comfortable sweaters.Â"), Phillip Lim, and the local flea markets (Melrose, Santa Monica, and the Rose Bowl).

CANTON — As they gathered in caps and gowns before Saturday's commencement ceremony, the line of students and faculty snaking through the sunny campus plaza, SUNY Canton's class of 2013 members recalled their time at college.
Some were sorry to see it go, others were just glad to see the payoff for their work.
"I've been reflecting back on the last four years of my life. I'm so glad it's over," said Zachary J. Smith.
Mr. Smith stood near the front of the line. He was to be honored with the Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.
The commencement, held at 10:30 a.m. in the Roos House, honored the 964 students who graduated from SUNY Canton this year. This includes students from baccalaureate, associate and certificate programs.
Mr. Smith received his bachelor's degree in industrial technology management, with two associate degrees, in construction management and business administration.
He plans to move to Indianapolis and look for work in the short term. Later he wants to follow his true passion: missionary work. Last semester he spent four months in South Sudan on a service mission, working on construction.
"That was a big learning experience," he said.
Megan M. Mydosh, of Warwick, walked the stage Saturday, but she is not leaving Canton for long. She received her associate degree in business administration, and will return to the college this fall to start studying for her bachelor's in management.
"I've been part of a lot of different things," she said of her two years on campus so far.
Ms. Mydosh was recruited by the school's track team, and also played lacrosse. She was awarded the Outstanding Graduate Award at the associate level.
"I'm really happy that I can be involved in everything," she said.
Abigail E. Shoen, of Waddington, said SUNY Canton not only gave her an education, it also helped her find the love of her life.
"Freshman year here, I found my husband," she said.
Ms. Shoen and fellow student Jeremiah Hardin were married last year, and the pair plan to move to South Carolina soon.
"I love this campus," Ms. Shoen said. "It's small. You get close to your faculty and your professors."
The students chose Assistant Professor Christa K. Kelson for the Northstar Award, given by graduates annually to an outstanding faculty or staff member. Ms. Kelson teaches accounting.
The ceremony marked an ending, not just for the students. It was Carli S. Schiffner's last, and first, commencement as interim college president.
Ms. Schiffner will move to her home state of Washington to serve as vice president of instruction at Wenatchee Valley College, Wenatchee.
She will be replaced by Acting President Joseph C. Hoffman.
Before her departure, Ms. Schiffner had a few words of advice for students.
"This is an exciting opportunity for all of you," she said. "Go for it. Don't be idle."
She summarized with three brief instructions.
"Be bold. Have a plan B. And be a good friend," she said.

The Maine Legislature has reconvened and is getting back to work. But there's still no progress on a stalemate between Democratic legislative leaders and Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who's declined to meet with them.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ LePage canceled a meeting with Democratic leaders on Dec. 4 after asking the Democratic Party to call off a cameraman who has been recording him at public events.
House Speaker Mark Eves and Senate President Justin Alfond said Tuesday that there was no breakthrough over the December break and that they're still seeking a face-to-face meeting with the governor.
For now, the snub isn't impeding the Legislature's work, but Alfond said constituents keep asking him about it. He said Maine people expect more from their leaders.
There was no immediate word from the governor.

As we consider the riots in France, let me tell you about an event I attended this evening. It was held at the old city building on 25th and Washington Boulevard in Ogden. It was organized by a lady we call "Happy", whose name is Shannon Gorder.
Most of the three dozen, or so, participants were dressed in black, many with their faces painted black. A large pile of pumpkins had been prepared with pictures of members of the U.S. Government pasted on them. Then, the pumpkins were smashed one by one with various weapons. The weapons looked like something out of "Lord of the Rings."
There were huge sledge hammers, machetes, swords and awesome battle-axes. I was told one of the hammers was named "Truth" and another was "Justice." I felt like Gimli, the Dwarf, in the Council Scene from "Lord of the Rings" as he raised his battle-ax in an attempt to destroy the ring of power. Unlike Gimli, I was successful. My battle-ax shattered my pumpkin-official, and the crowd cheered. One after another, the pumpkins were arranged and smashed by enthusiastic young Americans.
Unlike the persecuted minorities in France, these persecuted Americans were not violent. Peacefully, they released their pent-up frustrations on pumpkin effigies. However, in spite of their small numbers, America should take their message seriously. America does have persecuted minorities. They feel the pain.
With our marriage-control, drug-control, gun-control and other life-style controls, such as gambling laws, we have created persecuted minorities whose cries should be heard.
What happened to the American dream in which everyone is born equal and the only purpose of government is to protect each individual's inalienable rights, including the right to choose any pursuit of happiness that does not harm others? What happened to the America where the job of the police was to protect you from others, not yourself? Why are we spending tens of billions of dollars and keeping over a million Americans in prison, away from their families just because they chose marijuana, instead of tobacco or alcohol? Why can't we get the message from a few smashed pumpkins?
America's true National Treasure is on the front of the Declaration of Independence. It's written in plain English.

Blue Sky funds also help support the development of smaller-scale renewable energy projects in local communities. More than 34,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers currently buy Blue Sky renewable energy.
