We're feeling all jingly and belly 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: because this is the pre Christmas short stuff, maybe the 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: best short stuff of the year. 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 2: That's right. And we want to thank Daniel Montgomery listener 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 2: for sending this idea in indeed, as well as our 7 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 2: various sources on this. And this could have been a 8 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 2: thousand sources because this story is everywhere. Yeah, but Saturday 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: evening posts, loc fizz Org, Smithsonian one thousand bulbs dot com. 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that one. 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 2: That's a good one. 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. And we're talking about the advent of Christmas lights, 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: which are They came surprisingly quickly after the invention of 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: the light bulb itself, after Edison invented the light bulb, 15 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: and it was actually in edison a file a guy 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: named Edward H. Johnson who was in Edison's circle, who 17 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: came out with the idea of using these new electrical 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: bulbs to decorate his Christmas tree. 19 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: That's right. Edward Johnson was an inventor and a businessman 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: and he actually hired Edison when Edison was but twenty 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: four years old because he was like this kid is 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: going places, and they ended up working together, you know, 23 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: kind of for the rest of their lives in different ways. 24 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: Johnson ended up as the VP of Edison Electric Light Company, 25 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: which preceded con Ed and just three years after that 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: light bulb came around, he said, you know what would 27 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: look great on a Christmas tree and not burn it 28 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: down like the live candles that they've been using in Germany. 29 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 2: Is like an electric Christmas light. 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: Yes, so let's touch on those live candles. We've mentioned 31 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: it before in some past Christmas extravaganza. Oh yeah, but 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Martin Luther, the Protestant dude who is often given credit 33 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: for coming up with the idea of putting candles on 34 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: Christmas trees. Christmas trees are very very old in the 35 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: Teutonic area, and they were introduced to the Victorians in 36 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: England by Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, who was from Germany. 37 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: And so the Christmas tree itself wasn't all that old 38 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: as a tradition by the time Edward Johnson put lights 39 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: on the Christmas tree. But people had been putting open 40 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: candles on their Christmas tree inside. Yes, the fire hazard 41 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: is just through the roof, right, So his idea. As 42 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: sketchy as electricity was back then, was an actual improvement 43 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: as far as safety was concerned. 44 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't. There aren't many things that are more 45 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: flammable than a two week old Christmas tree. 46 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: I know, it's I mean, you can just look at 47 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: it and hear the sound, you know. 48 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. We collect them, our friends all donate them to 49 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 2: the camp and we throw those things on the fire 50 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: the end of a big night. And it's scary and amazing, 51 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 2: how you know, Like we're talking fifteen foot flames up 52 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: in the air. 53 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: I know, it's really thrilling. It's also scary. 54 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: It is scary. In fact, we did that when Hodgman 55 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: went camping with us at the camp on this last 56 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 2: trip through Atlanta, when he did a show here, and 57 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: when I brought that tree out at the end of 58 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: the night and threw it on everyone else knows the deal. 59 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: I think Hodgman was a little bit like, what's going 60 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: on down here in Georgia? 61 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: Oh? 62 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: Really, like, what are you people doing here? Me? Brady? 63 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: Were you looking at him and pointing and saying you No? 64 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: He loved it. Actually, so long story short. Edward Johnson 65 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: lives at one thirty six East thirty sixth Street in 66 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: New York, and he hand wires a Christmas tree with 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: eighty red, white, and blue lights. Apparently they were like 68 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: egg shaped, and the tree itself revolved, and as it 69 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: revolved the colors all so they would light up red 70 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: then light up white or not all of them, but 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: you know that section would light up red then white 72 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: than blue as it's spun. 73 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: That's so cool. I mean, this guy like knocked it 74 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: out of the park first try. Heck yeah, work got 75 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: out pretty quickly, in part because he started calling reporters. 76 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: But the Detroit Post Tribune sent a reporter, a veteran 77 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: even not even a cub reporter, to go check this 78 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: out because people were starting to like line up on 79 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: the street to peek through the window to see this 80 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: Christmas tree in Edward Johnson's parlor. And the veteran reporter W. A. 81 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: Crowfoot wrote, this is great quote. I'm just gonna say 82 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: the whole thing, Okay, Yeah, it was brilliantly lighted with 83 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: eighty lights in all encase. Then these dainty glass eggs 84 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: his his words, and about equally divided between white, red, 85 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: and blue. One can hardly imagine anything prettier. I love that. 86 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: I'm amazed that he was able to get these things 87 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: to turn off and on as they rotated. That's I mean, 88 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 2: in the early days of handwiring something like that, that's 89 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 2: the most impressive thing to me. 90 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure how to do that. It's hard 91 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: enough as it is today. 92 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, So should we take a break. 93 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: I think we should take a break, Chuck, all. 94 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: Right, we'll come right back and tell you where things 95 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: went from there right after this. All right, So Johnson 96 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: has lit up that first Christmas tree. Everyone is astounded. 97 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: He immediately starts one up himself year by year, and 98 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: I think in eighteen eighty four the New York Times 99 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: says there are now one hundred and twenty bulbs. So 100 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 2: the tradition of kind of you know, one upping yourself 101 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: or even your neighbor, that started with the very first 102 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: lit Christmas tree, and all of a sudden, in eighteen ninety, 103 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 2: you can finally buy Christmas lights if you have a 104 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: lot of money. 105 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of money. So a string of 106 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 1: sixteen Christmas lights that were available for sale in eighteen 107 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: ninety would have run you three hundred and seventy five 108 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: dollars in today's money twelve dollars back then. The average 109 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: person made about nine dollars a week back then, at 110 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: least according to one thousand bulbs dot com. So it 111 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: was cost prohibitive, like you had to be extraordinarily wealthy. 112 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: Plus you had some other obstacles to overcome. Your house 113 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: might not be wired for electricity, so you need a 114 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: generator to run your Christmas lights. That cost again three 115 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five dollars for one sixteen buolb string. 116 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: Did a professional wireman an electrician to come out and 117 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: wire this stuff up for you because you should not 118 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: be doing it yourself. And I think there is an 119 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: estimate from the Library of Congress that said lighting your 120 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: Christmas tree around this time would have cost you about 121 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: two thousand dollars. 122 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was in nineteen oh three, and that's the 123 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: year that ge started selling these pre assembled kits. But 124 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: like you said, a full tree two grand. And also, 125 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: you know, not only was expensive, but electricity was still 126 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: new and people at the time, you know, early on 127 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: in electricity were still a little freaked out by it 128 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: and weren't sure it was super safe. So it's not 129 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: like it spread like Gangbusters right away. I think it 130 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: was nineteen fourteen is when the light price really came down. 131 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: It was still like fifty bucks in today's dollars, which 132 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: ain't cheap, but more affordable than three hundred and seventy five. 133 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 2: So you know, more and more people started buying them, 134 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: and by the nineteen thirties is when they became cheap 135 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: enough to where they were kind of went really mainstream. 136 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. And by then, you know, city councils, local communities, 137 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: government buildings, like they had enough money to adorn like 138 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: the town square by then. Yeah, But it wasn't until 139 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: the thirties that people started adding like they were affordable 140 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: enough for the average home to deck out their own 141 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: place or their own Christmas tree. But they caught on 142 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: really quick, in part because in the twenties, I think 143 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: General Electrics started sponsoring Christmas light competitions. 144 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. 145 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then between the thirties and the fifties, people 146 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: started buying more and more and more. And by the 147 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: fifties was when you started to like you could go 148 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: down a street and like almost every house was lit 149 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: with Christmas lights. 150 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. In the seventies is when the many white lights 151 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: came out and a lot of people went to those. 152 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: We still use the white lights on our tree. It's 153 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: a do half twinkle half plane, so tasteful, and I 154 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 2: like it. It's a nice looking tree. I do have 155 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 2: a soft spot for colored light trees, especially the blues, 156 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: but we don't use those ourselves, but I really like 157 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: those as well, Chuck. 158 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: We do our whole house in blue lights. The outside 159 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: so pretty. I'm so so beloved of it. 160 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: You know who else did that? 161 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: Who? 162 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: Elvis? Oh? 163 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. 164 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, grace Land was blue for sure, I forgot. Yeah, 165 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: blue light is nice at Christmas. I like it. 166 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. My favorite though, and I've probably said this one 167 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: hundred times by now, are the big bat colored bulbs. 168 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 169 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: Those are hands down the best. They can bring me 170 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: to my knees and make me weep with nostalgia every 171 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: time I see them. 172 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: Is that what you use on your tree? Yes, the 173 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 2: big daddies? 174 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean what else are you use? 175 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: What else are you gonna use? 176 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: I know, I'll just I used the many white ones. No, 177 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: those are good too. We did get a I can't 178 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: remember where we got it from, but it's like an 179 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: artificial tree that kind of like flocking that's pre lit, 180 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: and that has the white lights in like installed, And 181 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm quite sure you would be perfectly happy if we 182 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: just left it at that, but I'm like, no, I 183 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: need some fat bolts, so I add those on. 184 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,119 Speaker 2: You were not alone, because apparently sixteen percent of Americans, 185 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: according to a Today's Homeowner survey from twenty twenty three, 186 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: prefer the colored lights. Twenty two percent use the white, 187 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: which I think is down. I think those were much 188 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 2: more in fashion, probably, you know, fifteen ten, fifteen years ago. 189 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they seem like. 190 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: I feel like the white lights used to be more popular. 191 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: Think they were kind of a nineties thing. 192 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah maybe, huh. 193 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: I didn't know. 194 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: I'm a nineties kind of guy, though, sure you are. 195 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: And it's you know, Christmas tree lights don't use the 196 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: most energy, but they definitely use extra energy, you know, 197 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 2: there's no getting around it. I think seven point eight 198 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: billion dollars per year is what people spend on them, 199 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 2: and then they light them to the tune of six 200 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: point six three billion kilowatt hours extra kilowatt hours. 201 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: So granted that's a twenty eleven statistic, it's probably gone 202 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: way down since the advent of led Christmas lights which 203 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: used way less power. 204 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. I tried to find stats, and I did find 205 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: some that were really low, but like the one I 206 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 2: found that was low was not a trustworthy thing. And 207 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: it was only for the month of December, and that 208 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: discounts like you know, usually there's like a week on 209 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: either side of December that people are lighting things up to. 210 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but suffice to say that back then, before the 211 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 1: LED lights, we in the United States alone used more 212 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: electricity than countries like Tanzania and El Salvador used the 213 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: entire year just the later Christmas lights, and even that 214 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: was just a small middling portion of the total electricity 215 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: in the United States uses that same year. In twenty eleven, 216 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: that six point sixty three billion kilowot hours to like 217 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: Christmas lights represented zero point two percent of America's total 218 00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: electricity usage. 219 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, So light up your Christmas tree, 220 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 2: have a little fun for a month. 221 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: There you go, especially if they're led right. 222 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what I want to shout out, 223 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: friend of stuff you should know comedian and actor and 224 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: author Casey Wilson.
