Introduction
You might think hanging Christmas lights yourself will save money—but have you considered the time, tools, risks, and frustration involved? There’s a reason more people are choosing professional Christmas lights installation and rentals. Here’s how DIY compares to hiring the pros, and why renting your lights is the better investment.

DIY: You’ll need to buy lights, extension cords, clips, timers, possibly a ladder, and even replacement bulbs.
