Q: Are LED Christmas lights safe to leave up all year?

• <div><p>No, you should not leave LED Christmas lights up all year. While the LED lights themselves are very durable, their wiring and casings can be as vulnerable as any Christmas lights. They&rsquo;re subject to drying out, experiencing cold or sun damage that causes them to crack, and even damage caused by gnawing pests. (The same is true of incandescents.) If you want your lights to last the years that they&rsquo;re rated for, bring them inside after Christmas is over. </p></div>

Q: What does professional holiday decoration include?

• <div><p>Professional holiday decorators are used to working with homeowners with varying needs, so the services can include nearly anything related to holiday decorations. Some services you might want to consider include the following:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hire-pro-hang-christmas-lights.htm">Exterior light hanging</a></p></li><li><p>Other exterior decorations</p></li><li><p>Exterior tree decorating</p></li><li><p>Interior tree design and decorating</p></li><li><p>Removing holiday decorations at the end of the season</p></li><li><p>Packaging decorations after removal</p></li><li><p>Holiday decoration storage</p></li></ul><p></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: Is it safe to staple Christmas lights to a roof or shingles?

• <div><p>Using a staple gun to hang Christmas lights on your roof or shingles is not recommended. Puncturing your roof with staples can cause damage, leading to cracks, leaks, and exposure to the elements. Staples are also less reliable than other methods like roof clips. For a safer alternative that won't damage your roof, use shingle tabs.</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>
