This tutorial saved my rapidly fading sanity. After fighting with tangled strands and putting the lights on the tree and then pulling them off about five times I decided I needed to take a breather and turn to RUclips. This method was so simple and will be simple to take off as well. One thing I would suggest is plug the lights in and just start from the bottom so you can better see where you’re placing them. Seriously, without this I would have continued calling my tree names that shouldn’t be said combined with the word Christmas and in the end thrown the lights on the tree in frustration.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one!. I haven't set it out loud,.. but I've been THINKING not nice things about my tree for days. This was such a great help!!
I've celebrated 2 decades of Christmases since moving out from my mother's home where I first learned to string a tree as a child. And let me just tell you this..., I am completely relieved at finally being liberated from that experience and yet unbelievably exhausted at the thought of how much aggravation, dread and time lost i spent doing it the wrong way. Not just the wrong way but the most difficult/ time consuming and stressful way imaginable !! Thank you so sincerely for sharing this video to us misguided tree-stringers and liberating us from decades more of that joy-robbing task of lighting our homes with warmth and decadence. You are a hero as far as I'm concerned. Im curious as to what more helpful life hacks you have up your sleeve so I'm definitely subscribing to see what else you have to share. Again, thank you. Merry Christmas and may your upcoming year be blessed with empowerment, productivity and abound in health and serenity.
Love the final action with your son dancing! Getting ready to put my lights up now. All I need is a cute kid to dance at the end! Hopefully my Granddaughter will fit the bill. Thank you for the Christmas cheer.
I’m not one to like flickering/blinking lights BUT the way you mixed it in there looks amazing!! It makes the tree look like it’s sparkling. I love it!!
Love your suggestion of solid lights deep, flashing lights middle, and flicker lights toward the surface. Headed out to get new lights for the tree. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this method! I’m ready to do my tree right now!! It’s beautiful! Looks so much simpler than the old wrap around, tangled mess. Merry Christmas.✝️
I generally get so frustrated putting lights on the tree I feel like ripping them off and throwing the tree out! This was incredibly helpful! Plus I loved the dancing.
Finally, someone who knows how to put lights on a tree. I learned this many years ago and it's so much easier than walking around in a circle. Now, if only you and your cute son knew how to dance. tee hee Merry Christmas!
I'm going to do this - it has to be easier than the 'round the tree' method. I've lost count of the times I get lights on and realize I either can't plug them in or can't plug in my star and then have to re-do them all! I love multi-colored lights, and even have some bubble lights that I keep at eye height so they're most noticeable. Merry Christmas from Canada!
I am going to try this today. I am worried that I might twist my knee trying to pull off the dance before I light the tree... can you please provide a guide to the dance steps :- )
Beautiful!!! I did it and it was much simpler!!! I want to learn how to do the diagonal way next. Not sure what it is called? Thank you for your video!!! Have a blessed holiday.
Greetings- a few things 1- where did you buy your twinkle/blinking lights? I see where the video is a few years older so maybe the store you used no longer Carrie’s them but thought I would check. 2- do you have a video on how to decorate the tree- bulb/ornament placements etc? Thanks again for sharing!
susan murphree yes, which makes them all interconnected. But be sure to start with the “female” part, leaving it close to the top of the tree... Incase you use a topper that requires an outlet.
I love to stick with clear bulbs for the tree- what’s your preference?
I prefer clear lights too!!

This method makes the tree look fuller and the lights more evenly distributed than using the old wrap around method. Great video!

I feel this comment in my soul
Love the blinking lights idea...and also that step button extension cord. The dance I’ll leave to you more talented people

You've turned chaos into pleasure! Thanks for inviting us into your home and the tutorial. Merry Christmas to you and your little helper. 🌲
Did you do it, and did it work nicely? I wish she had strung the lights while lit, for method visibility's sake. Merry Christmas.
Thx hugely helpful. Such an adorable son too!
Thanks for ending my search for easiest way to hang lights ❤
Great advice, and I especially liked the fun! Great dancing - great way to make decorating the tree fun for your family!
I never thought about putting blinking lights in the middle! That's a great idea
Thank you for posting this method! I’m ready to do my tree right now!! It’s beautiful! Looks so much simpler than the old wrap around, tangled mess.

LOL!!! I agree...
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been dreading putting the lights on my Christmas tree and now it’s way over due, so this is a big help!!
Mind blown! Thank you for this hack, I was just about to string the tree and had my usual sense of dread.
Thanks for the “S” tip! Beautiful tree!
Gorgeous I really love the different kind of lights; solid, blinking & fluttering. I will most definitely share & do this.
I never thought of putting the lights on this way! Thank you for your video!

Candy Kelly lol. I like your humor. We’re working on it 😜💃🏽
I think y’all are great dancers!
Thank you so much!💝 I've been doing the lightning all this years the wrong way.
Absolutely beautiful. Love what you've done.
I got it to work!
THANK YOU! omg, vertical is sooooo much easier
OMGEEEE! Thanks for making a difficult job a little easier! I could really use a cute little helper like yours!😉 Merry Christmas!
Pure genius. I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks! And happy holidays. 🎄
I would love to know how you know you are getting blinking vs twinkling lights? What brands should I look for? Loved the soft look…not garish at all!
You and your son are so cute!!!!!

I really enjoyed this video 😄
I love your video!❤️♥️
Very pretty. How do you get your lights to be steady, blink & flicker when they are all connected?

Wow this is such a game changer!!
Love this idea
AWESOME! thank you!
Vary nice I think I will give it a try
Should’ve shown doing it with the lights on
Yeah I can't see what she's doing
Black Boy Joy! Subscribed❤
Well aren’t you two adorable!
I like to plug my lights in as I'm running the strands, I've had half a string go out. This way, there are no surprises when finished.
after the first strand are you plugging the next set at the top where you left the end of the plug?
susan murphree yes, which makes them all interconnected. But be sure to start with the “female” part, leaving it close to the top of the tree... Incase you use a topper that requires an outlet.
@@MyChangedLIFE can you repost this video? It won’t play 😢
@@marykcummings can you try again? It worked for me on another device.
Cool channel name
Dang. The video won’t play😢
She should say make sure your plug is on the bottom
Kinni wright that’s true... to be able to plug it in the outlet. Always start with the input socket, so that you’ll end with the output plug.
Disagree... I learn so much about people that do not think of such. Social Darwinism!
Good work. Ahead of your time.
This is old news...my European family has been stringing the lights like this for decades.
If the light cord wraps around the circumference of the tree, they are not vertical. Sorry. Looks good but misleading and false title.
