Everyone admires outdoor lights and garlands, but putting them up isn’t the only source of dangerous hassles. Hours are spent teetering on ladders in icy conditions during both installation and takedown, struggling with wires pinned up with nails that may or may not want to come out at the end of the holidays. Burned-out bulbs are a constant aggravation throughout the season, and the weather-proofness of lights and wires raises safety concerns.
 Fortunately, there’s now a way to "leave it to the pros" when it comes to holiday decorating. Seasonal Lighting offers consumers a way to get into the spirit of the season and to get professional results without the headache.
Christmas decorations go from front to back
USA Today | November 24, 2006
For years, Americans have gone into an outdoor decorating frenzy when the holidays roll around. The result: front yards across the country ablaze with bright lights, reindeer peeking from behind every bush, snowflakes and snowmen dotting the landscape, even in warmer climes.
Alas, the inevitable happened: There was nothing left to decorate. So now homeowners have turned their eyes toward the once-ignored backyard.
It makes sense, says Los Angeles interior designer Kenneth Brown (HGTV's reDesign), because people can see and enjoy the display from inside. The front is for others, but "decorating the back is something homeowners do for themselves," he says.
