It is Fun Fact Friday Holiday Edition! Did you know that using small candles to light a Christmas tree dates back to the middle of the 17th century. Thomas Edison’s assistant, Edward Johnson, came up with the idea of electric lights for Christmas trees in 1882. Christmas tree lights were first mass produced in 1890. Wow we have come a long way from candles to wrapping the whole house with lights!

Its Fun Fact Friday Did you know that Isle of Palms has been renamed twice! Once when the first settlers came to America, the native Seewee Indians called the island Hunting Island, then the second time was when the British then renamed the island Long Island. There's even a restaurant on the Isle of Palms called the Long Island Cafe in honor of this fact. In 1899 the island was purchase and was renamed Isle of Palms, who knew?
