It somehow never occurred to me that - obviously the traditional Christmas lights were candles. Unless the original method was to cut at tree, decorate a still wet one for a day, and then toss it - how did anyone ever consider that a good idea?

You would be present when they were burning which I assume was on Christmas Eve in most places. Tree was probably cut down the same day too.

But yeah it’s an awful idea. People YOLOd more back in the day.
