One thing about the holiday season is that it always seems to sneak up on us. Before you know it, Christmas is around the corner, and you haven't even thought about putting up outdoor lights.

“It's okay, hanging lights is easy,” you think, until you realize how much work and planning are involved if you want to install Christmas lights for the holidays. Not to mention the danger that comes with using electricity for your outdoor lights. So, how do you get it done right?

Plan the layout of your Christmas lights for the holidays.

It may be tempting to install Christmas lights for the holidays as soon as the excitement kicks in. But take it from us—you'll save yourself a lot of time and effort by having a plan.

First, find out how many outlets you have outside and their locations. Decide on the style of lights you want—traditional or modern, white or multicolored. Once you know what kind of coverage and effects you're going for, draw up a layout.

Be safe while putting up your Christmas lights.

If hanging lights is new to you, make sure that it's allowed in your neighborhood first. Next,  gather and inspect all the equipment you need, ensuring that they are in good working condition.

Stay safe by using a strong ladder and using waterproof lights made for outdoor use. Don't overload sockets or extensions. And always turn off the power before handling anything electrical.

Use plastic hoops and clips for easy installation.

To make your life easier, consider using plastic hoops and clips to hang lights on trees. You won't need any tools or drills; just wrap the hoop around a tree branch and attach your light strands to it. For walls, use clips that can hold cords in place while keeping them hidden.

Consider hiring professionals to install your Christmas lights for the holidays.
