Now don't get me wrong. We all love decorating our Christmas trees, but circling around the tree over and over again making the lights perfect can be such a hassle.\r\n\r\nThat's where this ingenious TikTok hack saves the day! It turns out there's a much easier way to string up lights and without using so many at a time. Here's how and why you should be hanging your lights vertically.\r\n

It's All About the Vertical<\/h2>\r\nWhen it comes to decorating with lights, we're used to wrapping them around the tree over and over until we get from top to bottom. That can prove to be quite a task when you're anywhere under 5'7\". But, according to this amazing TikTok video, we can put all that hard work behind us.\r\n\r\nIn the video, TikTok user @lizlovery<\/a> explains that we should be hanging our Christmas lights vertically (from top to bottom) instead of horizontally (all the way around). But why is this better? According to her, not only do you use fewer lights in the process, but they're much easier to deal with and look a lot<\/em> neater. On top of all that, if you find you have a pesky row of lights that don't seem to be working anywhere, they can be replaced with ease!\r\n
