You can quickly and safely connect the lights on a pre-lit Christmas tree from Dollar General to add instant sparkle to a home. The 6-foot tall tree from the discount retailer has lights woven into the wire branches. With the lights already in place, it only takes a few minutes to customize the artificial tree to your liking. Reduce the work required to prepare for the holidays with an easy-to-use prelit tree.

Things You'll Need

• Indoor extension cord (6 to 9 feet)

Instructions

1. Move the tree near an electrical outlet. Keep the long branches at the base of the tree at least 6 inches from the wall.

2. Plug the power cord at the base of the tree into an extension cord.

3. Insert the end of the extension cord into the nearby electrical outlet. Try another outlet and extension cord if the lights on the Christmas tree do not come on. Bend the branches so the tree can be moved right up next to the wall and plug the power cord directly into an outlet to test the lights themselves.

Tips & Warnings

• Unplug the tree from the outlet when leaving it unattended for hours at a time.

• Unplug the lights while decorating to avoid electric shock.
