What is the best way to hang christmas lights on wooden window trim. I was thinking about either using brass hooks or staples. I am welcoming any suggestions though. Ir you can, please reply before Thanksgiving. THANKS

If using miniature lights, I have found thumbtacks work well. Your light strings may be too heavy for that, and if so get finishing nails in a color to harmonize with your exterior finish and go that route Put in at a 45 degree angle gives some wind protection help Also, small twist ties applied frequently might help hold the lights in place. Good luck.
Cyber,
I like to use a solid 12 penny nail, preferrably from a framing nailer to secure those X-mas lights. Attach at a 45 deg. angle on exposed surfaces, and siding where needed. This hardware can also be used at other times of the year for decorations. Some other good ideas that can used are 2 part epoxies and also galvinized drywall screws. I have found that 2" seem to work the best. Best of luck at getting into the spirit of the season.
