How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.</p></div>

Q: Do I need special tools to fix Christmas lights?

• <div><p>An affordable Christmas light bulb testing and replacement tool can make the job easier. But you can most likely make all necessary repairs yourself using common toolbox items if you&rsquo;d rather avoid purchasing another gadget. </p></div>

Q: When should I consider installing my own holiday decorations?

• <div><p>If you only need strands in safe and easy-to-reach locations and are sure of your electrical system, you can probably purchase and install lights yourself. To do this, carefully test your outlets to ensure there aren&rsquo;t any sparks or other concerning issues. Your budget might also influence this decision, as going the DIY route can be significantly cheaper.</p></div>

Q: Can you hang lights on eaves?

• <div><p>Yes, if your roof is in stable condition, you should be able to hang Christmas lights from the eaves. Hang Christmas light directly from the eaves for best results, using light clips or an alternative type of adhesive. When installing lights on your eaves, be sure to work carefully and avoid adding too much weight or pressure to them.</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>
