If you celebrate Christmas, you've always had a Christmas tree and helped decorate it! If you don't have a pre-lit tree, apparently you and I have been hanging the Christmas tree lights all wrong every year!
Again if you don't have a pre-lit tree, when you put the lights on your Christmas Tree you usually wrap them all around the tree. Well according to the Internet, YOU'RE WRONG! According to Real Simple, instead of wrapping them the whole way around the tree, just do the front and hang them Vertically. You start at the bottom, go straight to the top, then back down to the bottom, and keep going until the entire front is filled.
You could also zig-zag them horizontally across the front. But people on social media claim that vertical lets the lights sit closer to the tips of the branches for "maximum sparkle." According to one source, that's how they do the lights on the tree in Rockefeller Center. So it might be worth a try. The other benefit is they're a lot easier to take off and replace if one strand of lights stops working. And they're easier to take down at the end of the year. Also for those wondering, yes there is a TikTok about this as well! Check it out below
