hBook celebratesdecorating with lights
No more simple balsam wreaths for you. This is the year you go all out with your outdoor Christmas decorations -- chaser lights, animated carolers, the whole shebang.
Sounds like you need "Holiday Lights!"
The book by pop culture commentator David Seidman practically glows with electrified inspiration, from a palm tree trunk wrapped in simple rope lights to a van glowing with colored bulbs and topped with illuminated figures.
In addition to its many photos, the book entertains its readers with stories of dedicated decorators and asides on traditions, neighborhood disputes and other tidbits. There's also how-to information on creating a display, including electrical basics, guides to light bulbs and decorating gadgets, light-hanging methods and even ideas for photographing your display.
"Holiday Lights!" is published by Storey Publishing and sells for $16.95.
