Christmas lights are the perfect way to spread holiday cheer. A key element of most home's decorations during the holiday season, Christmas lights come in a variety of colors and styles. String lights are some of the most commonly used, and consist of lights of various sizes and colors wired together in a strand. Rope lights are a fun and quirky addition to decorations, and feature bright strings of coordinated lights. Net lights are a convenient option for those looking to cover larger areas, and will cover a space in a light grid. Bubble lights, while less common, make for a festive display with the bubbles of light that slowly move inside their liquid-filled tubes. Finally, icicle lights provide a classic look and create an effect of stalactites of light cascading from the eaves of a house. No matter the type of lights chosen, their influence on Christmas decorations is undeniable. There's something special about walking up to a house lit up by strands of Christmas lights, and they certainly make the holiday season brighter.
