October 15th is a very special day for me. Why do you ask? Because that is the first day when BC allows students to put up Christmas lights. Ever since then I’ve had a Christmas countdown on my phone, and I ordered 150 feet of lights online. Christmas lights brighten up your room, show off your creativity, and are generally just super cool. Thanks to Pinterest and Google, here are some creative ways to hang your Christmas lights!

Use push pins or removable hooks to hang them around your room:

 

Or do what I did and drape them from one side of the room to the other:

 

Hang them under your bunk bed for some cute new lighting:

 

Hang them in the tree form for an impromptu Christmas tree:

 

Christmas lights are an opportunity to be creative and brighten up your room. For more ideas, click here! So go to CVS, grab some lights, and spread some holiday cheer!!
