Christmas as we know it in the modern age is a time of mirth, merriment and copious amounts of multi-colored lights. We each ascend into our attics, dig into our storage closets or clamber to the store to retrieve our yearly supply of Holiday string-lights. These dazzling adornments are an unmistakable Christmas staple. Some blessed enthusiasts go so far as to construct truly radiant displays of showmanship. It can be a classic approach of lining your eaves, depictions of Santa Clause violating airspace law over your roof, spastic strobing musical concertos or even grand cathedral-like structures so large and complex you have to literally drive through it all. Everyone has their own beloved spin. But, how did this whole fascination with holiday lights begin?

Our new website is more than an improved design or mobile-friendly checkout experience, it’s about purchases that help save lives and impact communities around the world by donating 50% of net profits to causes that matter.
