do you put lights on christmas tree first

Yes, traditionally, the lights are placed on the tree first. They help to set the mood and add a festive atmosphere to the room. The tree can be decorated with a variety of lights, from small, twinkling lights to larger, colored lights. The lights can be draped around the branches of the tree or wrapped around the trunk. It's important to be careful when placing the lights on the tree, as improper placement or too many lights can be a fire hazard.
