In America, people put lights on thier houses for Christmas.
It is very cold in some parts of America. People can cheer up by looking at colorful lights.
Christmas lights started in Germany in 1800. At that time only a Christmas tree would have lights. They didn`t have electricty so they used candles.
In 1903 in America, People started putting lights on the outsides of thier houses also.
At first, people only put up a few lights.
Over time, people put more and more lights!
Some people would compete with thier nieghbors. They would try to put up more lights than other people. Soon, some people were putting up too many lights.
I am sad that Christmas is not a national holiday in Japan.

Countries where Christmas is a national holiday Argentina Australia Austria Bahamas Barbados Bangladesh Belgium Belize Bermuda Bosnia and Herzegovina Brazil British Virgin Islands Bulgaria Canada Chile Colombia Costa Rica Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Dominican Republic Estonia Fiji Finland France Greece Greenland Gibraltar Guatemala Haiti Honduras Hungary Ireland Italy Jordan Kenya Latvia Lebanon Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malaysia Malta Myanmar Namibia The Netherlands New Zealand Norway Pakistan Panama Peru Philippines Poland Portugal Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia Solomon Islands South Africa South Korea Sri Lanka Spain Sweden Switzerland Syria Tanzania Trinidad and Tobago Uganda United Kingdom United States Uruguay Zambia Zimbabwe
