Rule 4 – It is possible there are not enough lights to cover ‘dark spots’ in the front and sides of the tree. Using an additional extension cord attached to a switch box, simply drop, wind or shove additional lights into the tree until it looks good.
Start adding your ‘commemorative’ ornaments that plug into the lights. Just remember to save the light bulbs you’ve removed from the strand. When you remove the ornaments, put those bulbs back in, one ornament at a time.
I will discuss other aspects of decorating trees at a later date.
Question: How many ornaments are too many?
Answer: You can never get too many ornaments on a tree.
Unless you have a Nana Tree like I currently have. Half the ornaments are on the tree. The rest are in boxes sitting on the arm chair. I will attempt to add a few this evening but am making no promises.
