Here are some tips to have a hassle free holiday season:
- Plan ahead: Make a detailed plan of what decorations you want, where you want them to be placed, and how you want them to be installed.
- Keep it simple: Don’t overwhelm yourself with too many decorations or complicated setups. Stick to a simple and cohesive theme.
- Delegate: Consider hiring a professional decorator or enlisting the help of friends and family to share the workload.
- Invest in quality decorations: Good quality decorations are durable, reusable, and can save you money in the long run.
- Stay organized: Keep all of your decorations organized and labeled for easy setup and takedown.

I spent 25 years on ladders around the Northwest before Saint Nick's was ever a company, and I've been designing and installing custom holiday lighting in the Portland area ever since. I write these guides myself. No fluff, just what I'd tell you standing in your driveway.
