Q: When we put our Christmas tree lighting on we smell a burning smell what could be the problem?
but when we turn it off it goes away

A: My first thought was dust on the bulbs but the newer bulbs don't get hot. Are they old bulbs? Could there be a needle from the tree caught in a bulb socket? Try removing the lights and plugging each strand in separately and see if you get the smell. You may just have to replace one strand of lights. Lights are pretty cheap if you just replace them all.

Q: how many houses will burn down this year because of faulty Christmas lighting on houses and trees?
i have seen that mythbusters episode. i am not talking about fires due to excessive lighting. i am talking about faulty wiring associated with the lights causing fires. lots of flammable material in a house...

A: I don't know and I don't try to even think about it. First of all I only leave the christmas light on when I am home. When I go to bed or leave the house. The christmas lights are off and unplugged. People do have leave those on and at times it starts fire. But before I put the lights on the tree I check the wires on them to see how shape they are in. I end throwing one set away this year because of the wires tiring out..

Q: Where did the tradition of lighting a christmas pudding come from?
You know pour on the brandy and light it up! How did this tradition come about? Why do we do it??

A: For fun. Obviously the brandy was originally for flavour. Setting fire to the alcohol fumes from soused food has been part of cooking for years - its called "flambe". when the flames die down, you know that the harsh-tasting alcohol has been mostly driven off by the heat,, leaving the other flavours in the food. Some idiot is bound to suggest it has some mystical pagan origin. It doesn't.
