Fab article by Christmas Light Enthusiast and Aficionado (!) Jeff Carter---click on the photo to read all about....

Frederick Feiker could be considered the father of the National Christmas Tree. As an assistant to Commerce Secretary, Herbert Hoover, he was instrumental in convincing President Coolidge in 1923 to light a tree for Christmas. It was to encourage others to do the same and help the then growing national electric grid. To read more about the history of the National Christmas Tree, check out this article: www.scribd.com/document/439769422/A-Hart-of-Ligh
