Most of us look forward to the tradition of decorating our Christmas tree. But according to the internet, you might be hanging the lights completely wrong.
A different way of hanging lights is trending this year:. They say instead of wrapping them the whole way around the tree, just do the front and hang them vertically.
You start at the bottom, go straight to the top, then back down to the bottom and keep going until the entire front is filled. People on social media claim that vertical lets the lights sit closer to the tips of the branches for "maximum sparkle."
According to one Real Simple, that's how they do the lights on the tree in Rockefeller Center. So, it might be worth a try.
According to Fox News, the other benefit is they're a lot easier to take off and replace if one strand of lights stops working and they're easier to take down at the end of the year.
