Things to Consider

1. Choose a Theme - It is a good idea to plan your outdoor Christmas yard decorations so you do not end up with several unrelated display pieces in your front yard.  The first thing you must decide upon is if you are going  to go modern or traditional. Are you going to use bright Christmas colors or a more subdued look with all white lighting.   Keep in mind what your closest neighbors are doing.  If  your neighbors are interested in having their Christmas lights visible from the space station then perhaps you should take a different approach and create a subtle, but extraordinary display.
2. Determine the Lights you want to use - Once you have determined what color of lights you are going to use, the next  decision is to choose what kind of lights you are going to use.  Mini lights are low voltage, sparkle, and come in many colors and vary in price. Beware of cheap sets because the phrase, " You get what you paid for! ", hold true with outdoor Christmas. These lights also come in LED.  C7 or C9 lights are the traditional lights. Their large size makes them easily visible and bright. When a bulb goes out the string will always stay lit. C7 bulbs are just over 2 inches, while C9 bulbs are just over 3 inches long.  Icicle Christmas lights have become a very popular light set to hang from your roof. Net lights  great for lighting up the bushes and trees in your yard without much effort.   Rope lights are a great alternative if you don't want to mess with untangling strings of lights year after year. The majority of  rope lights are about 18 feet in length and come equipped with mounting brackets and cable ties to make them easy to hang.
3. Determine what Outdoor Christmas Lawn Ornaments you will use- Inflatable Christmas Yard Decorations are increasingly popular and are simple and easy to set up and store throughout the year than more traditional large yard decorations. These decorations are rather large so you will want to use these sparingly, even if you have a huge front lawn you are better off exercising some restraint.  Holographic Christmas yard decorations are nice because during the day the holographic designs add Christmas cheer to your outdoor decorations. Once it is dark the  lights will bring these decorations to life. Sculptured Illuminated Christmas yard Decorations are designs made out of rope lights. These can be found in a multiple of classic designs including reindeer, Santa, and nativity scenes Outdoor Topiary is a great  addition to a traditional theme or design that relies on a more natural setting.
4. Put a Plan together - When planning your Christmas yard decorations keep in mind that more is not always ideal.  You want to capture the spirit of Christmas without having your yard appear to be an entry into your local radio stations, " White Trash Christmas", contest! To avoid this take some time to sit down and plan out your design. Start by drawing  a rough outline of your home and yard and draw in where you would like to place your Christmas yard decorations. Planning will allow you to put up your Christmas Outdoor Decorations up more quickly when the time comes and also create a better overall design.
5. Determine the Number of Lights you need - Sounds simple enough right?  Well let me tell you that based on experience, not having the lights you need to complete your design once yu begin is a bit frustrating so be sure to check the lights you already have to be sure all your strings are working.  Plug in each string and make sure that each bulb is functional. If you find any that are not they can be easily replaced before they are hung. Aside from checking bulbs, you should also check the wires. Finding frayed or exposed wires means that it is time to for you to buy new lights.  Deciding on how many feet you will need to light up all the areas that you need to in your design , such as your doorways, windows and roof line will take some measuring but this pre-work will pay off once you start to build your creation.
6. Make sure you have Everything you Need for putting up your Decorations - Extra light bulbs for lights that may have burned out or will during the next month or so. It is always good to have a supply on hand. Gutter hooks are needed and sometimes you will need more that what is provided with the sets or some may have disappeared from last year Wireless Remote control power switch or outdoor timers are excellent tools. They enable your lights to go on or off with out having to go out side. A very worth while purchase. Several extension cords are usually needed to connect all your lights and decorations together. Make sure that the ones you use are sturdy and safe for outdoor use. Connectors are sometimes unavoidable if one outdoor Christmas lighting string is not enough for a specific area. You should make sure though that your connectors are not too exposed and are kept away from wet areas. You can put electrical tape around the connecting line for extra precaution.
