圣诞灯

圣诞灯（英语：Christmas lights），又称仙女灯、童话灯（英语：Fairy lights），是庆祝圣诞节而装饰的灯，经常在整个圣诞节期间展出，包括将临期和圣诞节浪潮（英语：Christmastide）。

一棵装满圣诞灯的圣诞树

这个习俗可以追溯到圣诞树用蜡烛装饰的时候，因为基督教象征圣诞灯是世界之光（英语：Light of the World）^[1]。另外，因为导致建筑与家庭的风险，欧洲联盟委员会将圣诞灯视为危险装饰品^[2]。

Another feature of Christmas that took a uniquely American turn in the nineteenth century is the tradition of Christmas lights. Candles were traditionally placed on the Christmas tree to symbolize Jesus as the light of the world.
