Christmas Tree Trimming And All Those Lights
There are several family traditions around Xmas time. One of the most fun and heart warming ones is decorating the tree together as a family. Some families have special pre lit Christmas tree lights and decorations that have been passed down from generation to generation. Others have a convention of giving each family member a new ornament each year. Still other families make their Xmas tree ornaments. There’s no right or wrong way to add pizzazz to a Christmas tree, just while the final result is a thing to be proud of!
Shine On
The quantity of Xmas tree lights used when decorating the Xmas tree varies from family to family. Some like plenty of lights on their tree, while others prefer less. As a rule of thumb, the general public use one hundred lights per foot of tree. For instance, if the tree is 7 feet tall, then you’ll need to put about 700 Christmas tree lights on the tree. Give or take fifty lights dependent on what you like best.
Another quandary for Xmas tree decorators is the color of lights. This is again, a matter of private preference. Some folk like the stylish look of plain white Christmas string lights, while others like the colored or multi coloured lights. Personal taste and family custom should play a role in this choice.
While for a very long time Christmas tree lights came only in the inch long egg shaped bulb, there are now a variety of sizes and styles. Mini lights are currently available, as are lights shapes like snowmen, stars, and Chris Cringle. Bubble lights, which are tiny lights encased in a base, are also popular. These lights are placed above a tube of coloured liquid, and when the lights are turned on a bubbly effect happens.
What Is Technologically New
New technology has made solar Christmas lights even better than they were before! Now, LED lights are available to consumers. These use much less energy and are far more ecological.
Another option made available by technology is lights with special effects, flashing lights, twinkling lights, fade in fade out lights, and patterns. Small PC chips and special bulbs make lights like these possible .
