Angie Hicks, Angieโs List Founder said itโs important to check your decorations for broken light bulbs, or frayed cords before you put them up.

Donโt place indoor lights outside, and all outside lights should plug into a ground fault circuit interrupter or GFCI outlet, which can be identified by the โtestโ and โresetโ buttons on the face. โThey determine how much load is on the hot wire and how much load is on the neutral wire,โ Sammie Bracken, an electrician said. โIf youโre thinking about new lights this year, the LED lights are a good alternative,โ Hicks said.
