Tree lights are twinking in all the windows along the lane and in our street.You can't see ours, because our kitchen's at the front, but Dad's put some lights round the pane of glass in the frone door, which look lovely.

:?: Does ours here mean our windows and lights mean candles ? Pls.

No, "ours" means "our lights", the lights are probably electric Christmas lights, not candles. More context would make it clearer.

"tree lights"means the chrismas-tree lights ? pls.
 
I see. Thank you all.;-)
