Christmas Decorating

Great ideas for Christmas Decorating.

For some people, myself included, Christmas is a time to express your artistic talents with lights.  For these people. the planning for their yard display starts when they take down this years display.  Not satisfied with 20 or 30 strings of lights, they work into the hundreds and thousands of strings.

Set up of these displays takes from several days for the small ones, to several weeks for the Grand Masters of displays.

Is this your year to go all out?

A Few Set Up Tips 

Christmas Light Setup

  1. Plan Ahead!!
    Don't plan as your putting up your lights. This will only frustrate you and in the end you won't be satisfied with the results.
  2. Keep Light Strings Taunt!!
    There are few places that loose, hanging strings look good. Take the time to use enough "hangers" to keep your strings straight and taunt.
  3. Keep the Lights Facing the Same Way!!
    While insuring your strings are straight and taunt, it is important to insure the lights all face the same way. Don't twist the string! This will improve the over all asthetics of your display.
  4. Be Safe!!
    This is the most important tip I can give. Falling off a ladder from the second or third floor, will certainly put a damper on yours and your families Christmas Celebrations.

    Good Luck!!
