Big and bright: Embracing a maximalist Christmas
Summary by Ground News
Christmas lights in Butte started in the mid-1920s. The lights were sponsored by community-minded organizations as a way to boost morale during hard times. The Christmas lights went dark again during World War II, but they are switched back on in 1945. And the lights will shine on into January as Butte honors its Serbian community.
