South Bend's Top Choice For Christmas Light Installation
The Custom Experience
How do you hang Christmas lights on a brick house?
Installing Christmas lights on a brick house requires special tools and a lot of time. For those reasons, we believe that professional installation is the best course of action for brick houses. However, if you do decide to install lights yourself, then here are a few great tips to get you started!
There are a couple of ways to mount lights on brick walls -- installing special equipment through a small hole in the brick; attaching a metal clip to a brick that protrudes from the wall; and even using a hot glue gun to attach the lights on the brick. For the first two methods, you will need to use special masonry tools that you can buy at any hardware store; they also will put holes in the brick itself. The hot glue gun takes a lot of time and patience. Once again, we do believe the best course of action for any customers wanting to install Christmas lights on their brick houses is to have them professionally installed!

How do you hang icicle lights on gutters?
The process to install icicle lights on gutters is simple; all you need is all-purpose light clips that you can attach to your gutters. The best thing about these clips is that they work for any type of light! Once you clip them onto the gutters, you can hang the lights pointing up or down, and you are good to go. Be sure to hang all of the lights in a consistent direction (up or down) to keep the decorations neat.
What does the Christmas lights represent?
The origins of Christmas lights and what they symbolize go back to early modern Germany, when Christians began to put up Christmas trees decorated with candles in their homes. It is believed that the candles symbolized Christ as the light of the world. These candles would be made of different colored wax to represent the emotion evoked from each color, such as white for purity or pink for joy. Christmas lights also represent the starry night on which Christ was born. For non-Christians, Christmas lights can represent the good, hope, and light seen throughout the world.
