We really like using plastic light holders/clips because they securely hold the lights in place without damaging your home. In the old days folks used to nail, screw and staple lights to the trim of their home. Today, there simply isn’t a need to resort to those methods with all the generic plastic light holders being sold.
If you’re planning on installing Christmas lights on your home this year we want you to be very careful. Each year there are countless injuries caused by people falling off ladders while hanging Christmas decorations. Be sure you use a ladder rated for the use and be sure to follow proper ladder safety precautions.

Hey Todd, great article. I would like to mention that there is a pretty good variety of clips out there on the market. Some are definitely easier to use than others and are a lot more versatile in how they can be applied. The easiest way to figure out what would be the best for your situation would be to get down to Target or something similar. Check out the clips they have in stock and see what is suitable. I have seen some Christmas light installer use the actual clips on the bulb sockets. These also vary a lot as well. So check things out, do some research and it will make your life that much easier round the busy season!!
