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: How do I keep my icicle lights from tangling in the wind?

• <div><p>No one has figured out a perfect solution to this problem. Tying icicle lights down or adding weights to them can help, but it&rsquo;s a very time-consuming process and far from foolproof. If your winters are too windy, we suggest simply switching away from icicle lights to straight runs of non-dangling lights along the edge of your roof.</p></div>

Q: How long do Christmas lights last?

• <div><p>While Christmas lights are a wonderful way to light up your home during the holiday season, they don&rsquo;t have a long lifespan. Most incandescent Christmas light bulbs are designed to last between 1,000 and 1,500 hours&mdash;or about one to three holiday seasons. More durable LED bulbs should last about 10 times as long. </p></div>

Q: What does it mean if half my string of lights is flashing?

• <div><p>The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident. If that&rsquo;s not the case, you should look for a bulb on the strand that is not quite seated properly and will lose its connection when it&rsquo;s touched or moved.</p></div>

Q: What order do you decorate a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. </p></div>
