Cupcake Momma

Imagine late November: the turkey leftovers have not even made it to soup, and you are looking online and realizing you missed the boat in timing your holiday light installation. If you have gone there before, you are aware of the anguish. The good news is timing is important, hence keeping lights on at the correct moment allows one to relax and also has wonderful curb appeal. More bonuses!

Now let us talk about logistics. Professional installers are most in demand late October through mid-December. Want your house shining on the first night of Hanukkah or shining immediately after Thanksgiving lunch? If at all feasible, you should get in touch early. Book in September or early October and you will get first pick on design ideas and dates.

A clever trickster is also the weather. October offers that perfect balance where the days are clear but not bone-chilling. Working circumstances count—no one enjoys freezing shingles or damp grass. Last-minute cancellals and your installer clinging to a slippery ladder like a cat at bath time will be avoided. Early installation also helps your display last longer, therefore spreading that joyful feeling straight into the dark winter days.

While some wait until Black Friday, by then you are elbowing competitors for the last appointment. Installers follow timetables as exact as Santa’s sleigh. To be honest, the post-Thanksgiving hustle can leave little time for appropriate settings, and you might see uneven lines or twisted lights. Sometimes the prime-time audience pays premium rates as well.

Ahead of time calendar communication helps the crew create exhibits that might only be utilized once and be swapped out or recycled if you celebrate multiple holidays. You therefore get more bang for your money and avoid mid-season turmoil. Seasoned companies encourage early bookings for just this reason.
