Initially, the tradition to decorate the window with New Year's lights-hills came to us from Finland. There, the seven-candle is lit 4 weeks before Christmas , on the first day of the pre-Christmas fast. According to tradition, candles should burn until Christmas, embodying the beginning of New Year's troubles.
In Russia, this tradition is practiced relatively recently, but it does not carry religious ritual. People decorate the window sills with New Year's lights with slides, as the house looks more elegant with them, and the window with a warm light radiating from it affably invites guests to look inside the house.
Electric Christmas lights slide
Previously, candlesticks were used for lighting fixtures, but for safety reasons they were replaced with LED light bulbs over time. Candles with lamps can be left on 24 hours a day, as they do not provoke a fire and are safe for children (they can not burn them or turn over a fragile structure). Such candlesticks are easy to operate and operate on electricity.
The lineup
The Christmas lamp with electric candles "Christmas Hill" fits perfectly into the pre-Christmas decoration of the interiors of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Often they can be found in private homes and apartments. For household use, lamps with elements of needles, figures of snowmen and angels are more often selected. Some craftsmen create whole Christmas compositions carved from birch bark. The compositions depict New Year's drawings, which create the feeling of an approaching holiday.
If your family has a child, then you can make a similar candlestick with your own hands, using ordinary candles and jewelry at hand. The kid will really like to create such a composition and he will look with interest at the illuminated window of his apartment, returning home from a walk.
