Q: How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn&rsquo;t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn&rsquo;t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it&rsquo;s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don&rsquo;t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

Q: How much do outdoor holiday lights cost?

• <div><p>Outdoor Christmas lights cost between $80 to $300 on average without installation. This comes out to about $4 to $50 per strand. You can get a box of outdoor Christmas lights for as little as $20, if you just want to decorate a small area, like a doorway. If you want to go all out and cover your entire home, you'll need between 10 to 20 strands of 100 to 200 bulbs each.</p></div>

Q: Why do Christmas lights always get tangled?

• <div><p>Christmas light cords are long, thin, and flexible&mdash;which makes them exceptionally prone to tangling. As you try to untangle the very merry mess, the light bulbs and sockets may catch on the cords, making it even harder to pull cords through the knots.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed for holiday lighting between seasons?

• <div><p>Between seasons, inspect cords for damage, replace burnt-out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures to prevent dirt buildup. Proper storage in cool, dry conditions will extend the lights' lifespan and minimize repairs or replacements when redeployed.</p></div>
