Video Transcript

"Hello my name is Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to hang Christmas tree lights. Now in getting your lights in your tree let's start at the bottom first. Do not start at the top. That is a couple of things odds are that your electrical socket is going to be pretty close to the bottom of the tree unless you have some very interesting outlets in your home. So let's keep that as to our advantage as possible. I mean we are not wasting a lot of lines going all the way up to the tree and then we are going to our way back down. No, no we got more since to start at the bottom and making sure that the plug in that we are going to actually have for the next tree is kind of keeping the lead. So what you are going to do is you are basically wind through here until your lights go slack. That is the part where you go okay I need to actually start putting these things on the tree. You are going to do so on the bottom branches. Now make sure if you have a lot of tall presents or except to get them if you are lucky make sure not to have the lights to low. To were they are going to be getting hung up on things underneath the tree. Also make sure you keep access to water as you are going along. You don't want to have a lot of trees basically blocking off access to underneath your tree so you can not water it. So then it dries out and that is your Christmas tree."
