DID YOU KNOW? That before the Griswold’s, America began tripping the #Christmas electric light fantastic rather simply on December 22, 1882, in the apartment of Edward H. Johnson, an inventor and the business partner of Thomas Edison. In a spirited burst of ingenuity, Johnson designed eighty red, white, and blue electric light bulbs the size of walnuts and displayed them on the Christmas tree in his Fifth Avenue apartment in New York City. Christmas was dark nevermore.
