“Unlock the Magic: 10 Surprising Christmas Light Hacks That Will Transform Your Holiday Decor!”
Even if you’re not particularly creative, there are all sorts of things you can do. That includes wrapping trees, light posts, mailboxes, and more with garland. You can also put up a wreath and add cheerful bows to things around your home to create a festive atmosphere.
Don’t Neglect Your Lights After Christmas
When Christmas is over, that doesn’t mean your job is done. The last thing you have to do is remove your lights and pack them away for the following season. A good tip is putting them back in the box they came in (or using cardboard as we suggested earlier). You can use zip ties to coil them up and prevent them from tangling.
Even though outdoor lights are waterproof, store them in a dry, cool place. That will keep them in good operating condition, so you don’t have to replace them the following year.
Turn Off Your Flash When Photographing Christmas Lights
You may be one of those people who loves going to holiday light shows. Or perhaps your family likes driving around town with the kids to see all the neighbors’ Christmas light displays. Either way, at some point you’ll be snapping some photographs to capture the moment.
If you want the best pictures possible, then don’t use a flash. A flash makes night shots, particularly ones filled with holiday lights, look washed out. If you turn off the flash, you create more contrast, and the lights will look brighter.
