Lighting Christmas Trees

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Leslie Moselle and I'm Tony Ramirez and we are from Tampa Bay. On behalf of Expert Village this is how to decorate a Christmas tree. So let's talk a little bit about lights. So of course everybody has these and they are going to put them on their Christmas tree. Let me tell the first thing that I think you should do is of course plug them up and make sure they work. You don't want a string to go all around your tree and take all this time putting them on your tree to just to find out that they don't work. So go ahead and plug them up. We will actually talk about power and how to save energy and you know keep your house from burning up in a later section. But power them up, just plug them, string to the wall to make sure they all light up. So one of the first things you want to do is of course when you are actually putting them on the tree is you want to start from the top and work your way down. So we would go ahead and climb up this ladder here. Can you still see me? I will get the female plug so if you are going to have anything that is lite on top of the tree as far as a star or an angel or a Santa Clause. Anything that you are going to have you are going to want to have power, once you have power on the top. So you are going to go ahead and start on the top. What I do is just open up just like that, stretch out a little, put it on. So now we are attached to the tree. So we are not going to string the whole thing on during the video cause it will take way too long. But the one thing that you are going to want to do is make sure when you are actually stringing the lights around the tree is getting actually inside the tree. You are going to want to go in a little bit like this. This would actually create a lot of ambiance inside of your tree and light it up and make just that more glorious for Christmas. So remember; work from the inside the tree as much as possible cause you are going to want to decorate on the outside of course with your ornaments. It will light it up from behind. It is a great lighting technique just go ahead if you can spin your tree, just spin your tree. If you have a partner have them grab it and walk around the tree for you. That is pretty much it for lights. "
