One of the most basic parts of holiday decorating is the string of Christmas tree lights. For most people celebrating the holiday, the strings of lights are the first things that go on the Christmas tree. Multi-colored lights using C7 bulbs have always been the most popular type, but new innovations have come onto the market in recent decades. Lights that blink, strings that are made up of only one color and rope lighting all have their places on Christmas trees today. In fact, getting just the right lighting look influences the placement of all other decorations that are put on a tree.
If stored properly, Christmas tree lights can last for years. Some things to remember are:
- Test the C7 bulbs to make sure they all work. Replace any that are burned out.
- Carefully untangle any strings that have knots in them.
- Wrap the strings around something flat and tough, such as a piece of cardboard.
- Buy storage containers made specifically for Christmas tree lights. These containers will keep the lights immobile so they won't break, and will discourage them from getting tangled.
Christmas Tree Lights for a Festive Holiday Season
There is a trend to try ever-more-complicated displays with Christmas lights each year, and the newer innovations are making this possible. While bigger may be better to some, others still appreciate the subdued elegance of a simple string of artfully placed lights.
