It really sucks (do you mind if I say sucks?) , that things all around Maine are being cancelled in the wake of a worldwide pandemic. But worry not, even though some of our most traditional events in the area are being cancelled for a year, organizers are working hard on replacement events so that the season doesn't have to go a full year without a little holiday fun...
January 14, 2015, I woke up with the thermometer at my house reading 20 below zero, it sure is cold out today. But, January 14th is the deadline for Maine homeowners to take down their Christmas decorations by law, or is it?.
Until the Christmas of 1880 Christmas trees when decorated with candles. As you can imagine that would be quite dangerous having lighted candles on a dry tree. Thomas Edison, who invented the incandescent bulb in 1879, hung a string of electric lights outside his lab in New Jersey and that was the beginning of electric lights at Christmas.
