"Hello, my name is Matt Cail. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you today how to hang Christmas tree lights. The next tip on dealing with your Christmas tree branches and getting your lights on your tree is not having competition for your lights. Your lights are one of the very first thing if not the first thing you are going to be putting on your Christmas tree. Which means no garland, no other ornaments are going to be on there because they can get in the way often times with Christmas tree lights. It's one the more physical, more intensive and more gabbling thing you are going to put on your tree. So make sure to put them on first rather than putting a lot of things on your tree then actually knocking them off. For example, so your uncle Gilroy gave you a great Santa Claus taking a bath ornament and you decide hey, I'm going to put this and a bunch of other cherish ornaments on my tree before I put the lights on. Well meanwhile you string your lights around and the ornament can not help get jostled and if you are not very careful it can even fall off the tree. Cause ornaments you have to make sure they are putting them on right, that they are near the branch, that they are going to stay up right and you want ornaments a lot more delicate by putting the strings up over a branch. Sometimes they can be very close to the edge so make sure that you still see the ornament. If you put up a Christmas tree lights after you get a lot of your ornaments some of them are going to fall. "
