How To Set Up Outdoor Christmas Lights Safely

The festivities of the Christmas season are upon us; giving the homeowner a chance to display their home with spectacular outdoor Christmas lights. This is a great way to bring the whole family together.

When putting up Christmas lights, plan how you want them displayed. Drawing a simple sketch on paper will help you remember your ideas. Some people choose to decorate with a single colour. Using blue, red, white, or green lights, gives your home a look of an old-fashioned Christmas. Using multi-colour lights express the excitement and delight of Christmas time. Measure the area you plan to decorate; and figure out how many light sets you will need.

Once your plan is solid, gather all materials such as wires, extension cords, and all the tools you may need. Everything must be in your hands before you climb up a ladder. It is very important to use only outdoor Christmas lights. Check every wire and light, making sure there is no breakage or fraying. Replace any broken or burnt light before you decorate, including damaged extension cords.

In reality, there are ways to share the joy of giving without going broke, crazy or losing sleep for multiple nights in a row. Gift giving takes a bit more creativity at Christmas to be unique, enjoyed and within budget.

The secret to creative Christmas gifts is creativity and organization. With a little time and thought you can come up with creative Christmas gifts. Pick a money budget so you don't overspend. Don't overlook practical gifts such as food gifts. Practical gifts are very lovely for all sorts of people; what you think is an ordinary skill (canning, breakmaking, dried soup mixes) may be someone else's favorite gift. My favorite gifts from my brother and sister in law include homemade salsa and homemade canned applesauce.

Don't forget about the time factor when it comes to homemade gifts. If you are going the homemade route, schedule in the prep time, gift making time and clean up. Making homemade applesauce takes about a good 12 hour day! It's worth it, but it is easier to do if you start with the right mental attitude.
Here are a few ideas:
