Winter nights and Christmas lights.
Putting up Christmas lights in the UK started with candles on German-style Christmas trees popularised by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in the 1840s, but electric lights for trees became established by the 1880s-1890s, with early electric "fairy lights" appearing in public buildings like the Savoy Theatre (1881) and on trees by the early 1900s, becoming a widespread tradition as electricity spread in homes post-WWI
