Goleuadau Nadolig
Goleuadau sy'n cael eu defnyddio fel addurniadau i ddathlu'r Nadolig yw goleuadau Nadolig. Maen nhw fel arfer yn cael eu harddangos yn nhymor y Nadolig a'r Adfent. Mae'r arferiad yn dyddio yn ôl i'r adeg pan fyddai coed Nadolig yn cael eu haddurno â channwyllau i symboleiddio Crist fel goleuni'r byd;[1] daeth Cristnogion â rhain i'w cartrefi gyntaf yn yr Almaen yn y cyfnod modern cynnar.[2][3]
Roedd coed Nadolig yn cael eu harddangos yn gyhoeddus a dechreuodd eu haddurno â goleuadau trydan ddod yn boblogaidd ar ddechrau'r 20g. Erbyn canol y 20g, roedd yn arferol i roi goleuadau trydan ar hyd strydoedd ac ar adeiladau, yn arbennig yn yr Unol Daleithiau. Erbyn diwedd y 20g, roedd yr arferiad i'w weld mewn gwledydd eraill hefyd, gan gynnwys y tu hwnt i'r byd Gorllewinol, yn Japan a Hong Cong.[4]

German families brought a small tree into the home at Christmas time as a symbol of the Christ child, and decorated the boughs with cutout paper flowers, bright foil, apples, sweets, and other fancy treats. Another feature of Christmas that took a uniquely American turn in the nineteenth century is the tradition of Christmas lights. Candles were traditionally placed on the Christmas tree to symbolize Jesus as the light of the world.

Germany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes. Some built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles if wood was scarce. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree.
