Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Matt Cail. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you today how to hang Christmas tree lights. Once you get your lights wrapped around the tree a couple of times you know one and two times and even three times, then basically it's good to kind of think about how you are starting to stagger in space your lights. It's good to kind of keep about an equal distance between the spacing as you go a little higher on the tree you are actually going to have a situation where the staggering and spacing went a little closer. But what you don't want, you don't want to have end up having like really really big gaps or also things where the lights are super clump together either. You want to keep things nice and evenly spaced. It's also important to realize now once you start getting closer to the top of the tree are you going to plug in a second or even a third strand? If you are plan ahead leave bigger gaps here so that when you go up and the ones you also bring in your next strand you're going to start winding and coming back down. What you are going to do is go between some of these middle branches that you have left you don't want a situation again where you have these big gaps or the lights are super clumped together. "
