Christmas Lights

By Juliette Crane

If you are looking for the perfect Christmas light for house decorating this season you may want to consider the general style of your home before making a purchase. The outdoor holiday decorations come in all shapes and sizes and one may be a little better for your particular style home than another.

Every year I find myself sitting by the tree with a cup of hot coca or hot apple cider completely enjoying the Christmas tree lights. We have several different sets of holiday decoration lights. Some twinkle, some stay on constantly, some fade up and down, some are colored and some are white.

There are some items that are simply a must whether you are going to take on a big project or one that is quite tame. These products come in an array of styles and types and there is a wide selection available on the World Wide Web. Following are some essential products for you Christmas lights house.

Lighting is the key to making a big splash in your neighborhood. Well chosen decorative light bulbs are the most important aspect of your Christmas lights house decorating plan. There are many different types of bulbs to consider. Some people like to stick to the traditional look while others want something hip and new.

Your Christmas lights house can be adorned with large, traditional bulbs that are reminiscent of large eggs. These holiday lighting items are available in many different colors. You can stick with an all white d?cor, a cool blue effect or a warm red tone. Some people choose to mix all different colors in their themes.

The traditional large bulbs are wonderful for some homes but you may want something a little less, well, large. There are plenty of delicate twinkling lighting products that are perfect for creating a lovely starlit effect for your Christmas lights house display. Of course, you have your choice of colors in this kind of product as well.

The other annoyance is the burning out of that one well hidden bulb. There is nothing more discouraging than plugging in your Christmas tree lights and nothing happens. This begins the exhausting task of finding that one bulb that is shutting down the entire set of lights. They sell Christmas tree light testers. Of course we bought one.

We quickly noticed that it took the same amount of time to check them with a bulb and to use the tester. We actually do use the tester after the several hours we wasted testing our holiday lights with a burnt out bulb. All in all, the incontinences are well worth the beauty of some well placed Christmas tree lights.
