“Unlock the Magic: 10 Surprising Christmas Light Hacks That Will Transform Your Holiday Decor!”
LED holiday lights don’t use as much energy as traditional light bulbs. Even though you pay more for them, they don’t use as much electricity, and you don’t have to change them as often.

Even if you’re not very handy, you can build your own light hanging pole fairly easily without spending much money. While they are available at box stores, why spend $25 when you can make one yourself? You probably have most of the supplies at your home or in your garage already.
All you need to do is find a pole from a broom, mop, or other implement and affix an adjustable clamp to the end of it with zip ties or tape. This gadget will make your light-hanging duties much easier.

This is a really cheap hack that will save you money, and it will allow you to choose the colors you want to place on the garland. The next decision you have to make is choosing where to hang it.
