"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 final step in looking at how we done our Christmas lights is taking a step back. You want to look from a distance of basically how your tree is looking, where are the gaps? Where can things be a little bit better? This is much easier to do if you're about five to ten feet away from your tree as opposed to being right up in the tree face. You are going to now notice things from a distance that you just won't know as close up. So after you think you are done you are down from your ladder, you have used all of your lights, you think things are great. Take a step. Take a second turn down the lights, step five to ten feet back and look at the tree. You're going to see things; you'll start noticing there is a little bit of gap there and I looped those lights around funny on that branch, man despite of what Matt told me I still clumped it a little bit near the top. So you want to look at those things, take a second let it sink in and then basically go back in there cause then you are going to make your tweaks and fixes. This should not be a real imagination of the whole light Christmas tree hanging, don't be that hard on yourself. But definitely take a minute or two sit back think and then go back in there for your final steps on your Christmas tree lightens."
