Xmas Lights

Christmas lights are lights used for decoration around Christmas.
21. Wrapping Hedges
Wrapping hedges with twinkle lights may seem like a daunting task, especially when figuring out where to stop and start each strand. Eliminate all of the second guessing by investing in net lights. Although net lights may cost more than standard strands, the amount of time saved on installation is often worth the investment.
22. Easy to Read Entry
When decorating a homes exterior entry, its important to take into consideration how each of the decorative elements will appear from the street. If wreaths or ornaments are too small, theyll end up looking like clutter. Be sure to keep the scale and proportion of all elements in check with those in the yard. This will result in a cohesive design which will be just as striking from a distance as it is up close.
23. Mixed Light Sources
Year round exterior lighting such as sensory activated motion lights, security spotlights and sconces can often interfere with the soft ambiance created by twinkle lights. The key to properly mixing different sources is overpowering year round fixtures with twinkle lights. Consider changing year round bulbs to those with lower wattage. This will allow twinkle lights to overpower year round fixtures, resulting in a beautiful, soft glow along all exterior surfaces of the home.
