Christmas Tree Trimming And All Those Lights
There are many 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 practice of giving each member of the family a new ornament every year. Still other families make their Xmas tree ornaments. There is no wrong or right way to add pizzazz to a Xmas tree, just so long as the end result is something that should be proud of!
Shine On
The amount of Christmas tree lights used when decorating the Christmas tree varies from family to family. Some like a lot of lights on their tree, while others prefer fewer. As a rule of thumb, the general public use a hundred lights per foot of tree. As an example, if the tree is seven feet tall, then you may wish to put about 700 Xmas tree lights on the tree. Give or take fifty lights depending on what you like best.
Another quandary for Xmas tree decorators is the color of lights. This is again, a matter of personal preference. Some folks like the stylish look of plain white Christmas string lights, while others like the colored or multi colored lights. Personal preference and family custom should play a role in this choice.
While for a considerable time Christmas tree lights came only in the inch long egg formed bulb, there are now a selection of styles and sizes. Mini lights are now available, as are lights shapes like snowmen, stars, and Santa. Bubble lights, which are small lights encased in a base, are also popular. These lights are placed above a tube of colored liquid, and when the lights are turned on a bubbly effect occurs.
New And Technologically Improved
Leading edge technology has made solar Christmas lights even better than they were before! Now, LED lights are available to consumers. These use a lot less energy and are way more ecological.
Another choice supplied by technology is lights with special effects, flashing lights, twinkling lights, fade in fade out lights, and patterns. Little computer chips and special bulbs make lights like these possible.
