Christmas lights... not just for Christmas anymore! Think about buying a few packs of lights after this year's holiday when they go on clearance and use them all year round.

Strings of "Red" lights adds a lot more romance to a Valentines Day. A string of "Green" lights will turn anyone green with envy on St. Patrick's Day. Combine Red, White and Blue Strings for that 4th of July cookout.

The tiny little lights can bring a big impact to any gathering. Mix a string into your table's centerpiece and you add class and style to any party. These are only a few ideas, bet you can come up with many more!

I love lights, use them all the time. I even have them wrapped around the top of my canopy bed.

I took strings of the mini lights all in white and attached them under the railing around my deck. Gives off just a nice glow to the deck without attracting the mosquitos. Really makes it nice to sit out there and chat or relax.

I am glad I don't live in your town where you get fined. My parents like lights and I don't want my dad climbing the ladder so much so I talked them into leaving them up. This way I don't have to worry that he may try and take them down and fall. Good idea about walkways. I will tell them about that.

I too leave my simple Rope lights on around footpath areas and steps and am thinking on leaving them on timers (to be adjusted with the seasons). I leave it on till bedtime or when visitors may leave or it's time that they should leave. It helps my safety and adds instant uplift at times and hopefully does not cost that much to run. One fall alone repaid me already!

I saw someone use the rope lights as a night light on stairs.

I use white christmas lights all year around on top of my kitchen cabinets. It puts a soft light up at the ceiling and shows off the collectibles displayed up there. I lay them flat so you don't even see them!

I am a teacher and use this idea in my classroom to brighten up my room for holidays or seasons-red for Valentine's day, white for Easter, green for St. Pat's Day. I have an orange set for fall too. The students really like it.

In my town you will get fined if you keep your Christmas lights up. I didn't know that until I read it in today's paper.
