  • Christmas Lights and Community Building in America
    Christmas Lights and Community Building in America By Brian Murray Yale College Christmas is Bill Clot’s favorite time of the year. Every year during the holiday season, the Pinecrest, Florida native literally lights up with excitement as he begins to erect his world-famous holiday lights display, consisting of over 600,000 light bulbs wired to about 500 extension cords. According to Clot’s son, his father’s 50,000 square- foot property “looks like daylight” as he adorns trees, Santa Claus and his entourage, and even a group of ice skating penguins with brilliant lights. In 2002, NBC’s Today labeled the display the nation’s best.1 While Christmas lights displays may seem commonplace to us today, they were not always so. In fact, the modern ritual of hanging string after string of colored lights right after Thanksgiving (and often not taking them down until well after Christmas) only began in its current form after World War II. Our veritable front yard amusement parks of light are uniquely American in character. Drawing on ancient Pagan and Christian traditions far removed from our extravagance and coupled with an increasingly urbanized population, American Christmas lights displays represent a contrast between modernity and antiquity. It is impossible to study the emergence of American winter light rituals without also tracing the history of the Christmas tree, which helped bring Christmas lights to the forefront of American national consciousness in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For it was, in part, on the Christmas tree that Edison advertised his new incandescent light bulb, forever tying it to the evergreen branches of Christmas tradition.2 With the popularization of the electrically lighted Christmas tree first as a local, then national symbol in the period between 1882 and 1940, the seeds of the modern American Christmas tradition were planted.

  • Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! Reverend Bill Gause Overbrook Presbyterian Church 1St Sunday of Christmas December 29, 2019
    “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! Reverend Bill Gause Overbrook Presbyterian Church 1st Sunday of Christmas December 29, 2019 Scripture Reading: Luke 2:1-20 1In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3All went to their own towns to be registered. 4Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. 5He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. 7And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 8In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: 11to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 12This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” 13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, 14“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!” 15When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger.
