To get Christmas lights to work, you'll need to first make sure that the lights are plugged into a power source. Then, you'll need to make sure that all of the bulbs are intact and working properly. If one of the bulbs is broken or burned out, the rest of the lights won't work. Once you've checked all of the bulbs and made sure that they're all in good working condition, you can turn the lights on and enjoy the holiday spirit!
