Safety Precautions to Take this Christmas

Looking forward to hanging your Christmas lights this season?

Follow these tips to make sure decorating season goes smoothly this Christmas:

 

Make Sure Your Ladder is Safe to Use

Inspect your ladder before you use it – it may have not been used since last Christmas! Dry, fully intact rungs are what you’re looking for.

 

Don’t Overcrowd Your Outlets

You probably have many lights to hang, but that doesn’t mean they should all go into the same outlet. Too many plugs in one outlet can lead to a short circuit, causing a lot of unnecessary stress at the least, or a house fire at the worst!

Why We Decorate for Christmas

It’s December, and that means it’s time for ice skating, hot chocolate, and most importantly, Christmas. Before you go all out preparing for the most wonderful time of the year, knowing why we decorate can make it much more special.

Many Christmas lovers decorate due to nostalgia. Some of the best Christmas memories stem from childhood, when the magic of the holiday was at its most potent. Shopping for a tree and decorating with your family was something to look forward to every year. Recapturing that joy by starting new traditions can bring that special feeling back.

Sometimes, decorating for Christmas doesn’t need any other motivation besides looks! Created in the late 1800s, Christmas lights took decorating to a whole new level. While some take their display of decorations very seriously, enjoying competition with neighbors, others will casually cover their yards in lights. Sharing Christmas cheer to those in your neighborhood through decorating is a great way to celebrate the holiday season.

Early Origins of Christmas Decorations

It’s December, and that means it’s time for ice skating, hot chocolate, and most importantly, Christmas. Before you go all out preparing for the most wonderful time of the year, knowing why we decorate can make it much more special.

One of the first displays of this kind of decorating comes from ancient Rome, when Saturnalia, a December holiday honoring the agricultural god Saturn, was celebrated. Romans would take off from work and other duties and decorate their homes with wreaths and other greenery. This celebration also involved music, eating, socializing, and gift giving, and is the source of most of our current Christmas traditions.

While early Christians didn’t really support decorations, traditions changed over time, and the modern Christmas tree spreading through Europe between the 1500s and 1800s cemented their as part of the holiday. Nowadays, Christians’ decoration are motivated by faith, and are a reason to remember why Christmas is celebrated.

If you want some help installing your Christmas lights, that’s understandable. Installing Christmas lights can create an opportunity for injury or home damage, and that’s no fun around the holidays. At Delights, we’re fully insured and well trained in roof installations to minimize the chance for injury, and we use only professional equipment and mounting accessories. Here are some questions you might ask a Christmas light installation service to make sure they’re the right choice for you:

• How can I save money and energy on my Christmas light installations?
• Do you use energy-efficient bulbs?
• How can I put my lights on a timer to save time and energy?
• Will you help me design the right Christmas light installation for my home?
• How long do the lights stay up, and how do I make sure they are removed in a timely fashion?

How to Save Energy on Christmas Light Installations

You have all these great ideas, but now you might be concerned how much energy that’s going to use over the holiday season. Did you know that Christmas lights can be energy efficient and still look extravagant? Modern Christmas light installations work with the most energy efficient types of lighting without sacrificing beauty, so your budget goes a lot further. Here are some tips to save extra energy when installing Christmas lights on your home for the holidays:

• Install your lights on a timer or program them to display at certain times. No need for your lights to be running all day if you forget to turn them off. You can install lights to turn on when it’s dark, or only when you want them to display.
• Choose energy-efficient bulbs. LEDs can save you tons of energy and money on Christmas lights. 
• Design your Christmas light display for maximum impact. Put lights around rooflines, on porch pillars, trees and garden shrubs in front of your home for a look that’s designed just for your home. By putting lights where they have the greatest effect, you can make the most of your energy budget.

Professional light installation should be fun, easy, and full service. We can’t wait to see the beautiful Christmas light installations we design together for your home come alive. Please call us for a free consultation with your questions about Christmas light installations and energy savings.
