Christmas lights  should go on your tree before any decorations, and should be checked to make sure they are all working.

Look at your tree with the lights on and off to make sure you are happy with their positioning. As a rough guide we recommend an average of 30 lights per foot of tree.

Always remember to tuck the cable out of sight - use garden wire to hold it in place if necessary. Run a beaded garland around the tree in swags for added sparkle.
