Christmas Tree Trimming And Lights Galore!
There are several family traditions around Christmas 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 tradition of giving each relation a new ornament every year. Still other families make their Xmas tree ornaments. There is not any right or wrong way to add pizzazz to a Xmas tree, just while the final result is something that should 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, most of the people use one hundred lights per foot of tree. As an example, if the tree is 7 feet tall, then you may want to put about 700 Xmas tree lights on the tree. Give or take 50 lights dependent on what you like best.
Another dilemma for Christmas tree decorators is the color of lights. This is again, a matter of personal preference. Some people like the stylish look of plain white Christmas string lights, while others like the coloured or multi colored lights. Personal preference and family convention should play a role in this choice.
While for a very long time Christmas tree lights came only in the inch long egg formed bulb, there are now a selection of shapes and sizes. Mini lights are now 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 colored liquid, and when the lights are turned on a bubbly effect happens.
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.
An alternative choice provided 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.
