Video: DIY Christmas Lights Simple and Classy
It is time to get out and win that unspoken competition you have going with your neighbors over who has the best Christmas Light Display. Fortunately for you, I made this video to show you how to put up Christmas lights without going all “Clark Griswald” up in your crib.
I hope this video comes across well as it is my first full length post in this format. I can tell you that the wind is really bad in much of the video and does distort the audio to the point of annoyance, but there is nothing I can do about that until I invest in some better equipment (which I plan to do very soon). There are also 3 written posts that go along with this video:
The posts and video all work together and should clear up any questions, however, I would be glad to answer any you have: just leave them in the comments below.

Al, the video was great! One suggestion….MOVE TO NC! It was in the 60’s yesterday! LOL

Josh, thanks for stopping in! Yeah, my folks are in NC and they love the mountains.
If it were up to me, I’d go back to FLA now! LOL

Hey Al, I loved the video! It was amazing and very infomative. You did a great job multitasking on the roof. I am glad to see you made it down safely. And the lights look phenominal! I can’t wait to see the next episode on Life and Lawns TV!

What do you think about LED Christmas lights?
I think the Multicolor LEDs have a more modern look to them. The white LEDs have a more cool look to them unlike traditional lights that have a more soft candle like light.
You can hook more sets together because they use less energy and the bulbs last longer.
