Wish your wonderful granddaughter and her family a Merry Christmas with a card featuring a beautiful staircase set against a red wall with a window view of a snowy scene with a tree decorated with Christmas ornaments. Original design by Laurie Schneider, elements by Digital Designs by Elena, La Galerie de Jackie. FYI: Edison brilliantly displayed a string of lights outside his workplace, the Menlo Park Laboratory in New Jersey, in 1880. The first people to see them were train passengers riding by the building. It was Edison's partner, Edward H. Johnson, who took the idea and applied it to Christmas trees. He was the first person to hand wire 80 colored light bulbs and wrap them around his Christmas tree. Prior to this idea, people would try to light up their Christmas trees with candles.
