Hi Silvia,
Have you tried decorating the outdoor spruces with something other than lights? You could save the lights for just the tree indoors and decorate outdoors with foil stars, ribbons or even natural bird-inviting decorations like birdseed garlands, birdhouses, apples etc. Alternatively, you could leave the trees green (as they are) and wrap their bases with bright red wide ribbon. If you would like a little lights on them, you can hang lanterns or luminarias which will be cheaper and take a lot less time to set up.

I’m looking for any ideas/advice. We have 12 (!) dwarf Alberta spruces (who apparently didn’t get the memo about being dwarfs) lining our front sidewalk to the front door. Some are about 5-8′ tall with one definitely closer to 8-9′. Needless to say they take up a lot of lights at Christmas and therefore look a bit pitiful when I can’t afford to keep buying light strings (the largest takes over 400 lights!). Now my kids have grown up and moved out it’s my job to string the lights, a frustrating and tiring job that last year left me in exhausted tears. You see, I only have to touch a string of lights to have them fail on me. Of course, they’re expensive so I buy the cheap $3-$5 strings and get what I paid for! Anyway, if you have any thoughts on alternative ideas to decorate them I’d appreciate it! Thanks!
