These small lights are intended to gently light up the house with a soft welcoming glow to welcome guests in from the winter cold.
There are also large plastic encased snow globes that are filled with a variety of holiday themes subjects such a penguins, snowmen, Santa and other festive holiday images. These operate with an electrical fan that blows air into the globe continuously, once turned on, to keep the effect of the snow blowing about in a blustery fashion.
Another popular outdoor Christmas decoration is the nativity scene that replicates the night in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. Many of these nativity scenes vary from wooden statues to plastic forms designed to withstand the elements for many years.
