I've spent the last few afternoons getting tipsy then getting up on the roof to hang lights in the gutter. I figure after three beers it isn't going to hurt so much when I fall off. I've had lights stolen before so this year we have used extra zippy ties on the front fence.
Last year there was only me and another newcomer to the village that had lights up. This year there's a house that has gone all out and covered the front of his house with rope lights and cascading curtain lights and stuff. I can see his house from my windows. SO I have bought a few more this year. I don't have many but next year it's game on!
The fairy lights I put on the gutters are solar, and I have a solar spiral tree which looks pretty neat out in the middle of the paddock. I probably won't take the gutter ones down, I like fairylights 🙂
A couple of years ago, when we bought this place I put red and green solar fairy lights on the gates so we could find the place in the dark, lol, they are still there (lots and lots of zippy ties)
