Like many holiday traditions, Christmas lights have started as a marketing ploy, which makes them a quintessential American tradition when you think of it. Check out this history in my latest #CommonThreads column for @satevepost.bsky.social 🗃️

Season 3 starts this Sunday! Go and watch it, because if we are bound to be consumed by stories of wealth, violence, and corruption, we might as well also get a good period drama with lots of dresses, big hats, and a bit of romance. #TheGildedAge
