If, when you are going to decorate your Christmas tree, you turn around the lights from the branches, "you are doing it wrong".

According to 46-year-old Clare Hooper, who used to decorate professional Christmas trees, there is a much simpler method that will save you time, effort and money.

In a video, which had 2,5 million views on TikTok, Clare explains the reliable "zig-zag" method - she puts the lights on a branch at the bottom of the tree before bringing them back to the top and back down , to form vertical lines - but not everyone liked it and while half the spectators were excited the other half had a lot to say!

"Decorating Christmas trees was part of my job and we use the zig-zag method. It means you do not waste the lights at the back of your tree! " he said. What do you think;
