Have you put up your Christmas tree yet?

This year, why not try hanging your lights vertically up and down instead of around the tree horizontally!

The Internet is filled with photos of it…you’d start at the bottom, go straight to the top  then back down to the bottom until the entire front is filled.

It’s supposed to give your tree “maximum sparkle”…plus they’re a lot easier to take off and replace if one strand of lights stops working and they’re easier to take down.

Some are also zig-zagging them horizontally across the front…Fox and Real Simple show you how it’s done!
