Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids is covered in holiday string lights as far as the eye can see, but what goes up, must come down. Fox 17 spoke with an expert from a local business to find out the best and safest ways to un-deck your halls.
A simple strand of lights can make a big difference when decorating.
“I love Christmas lights, so I try to put some outside,” said Grand Rapids resident, Marcia Carpenter Friday at Rosa Parks Circle.

“That’s a little stressful, doing the storing of everything,” added Carpenter.
Grand Rapids resident Becky Miller shared similar sentiments.
“I have two trees, I have lighting on my cabinets, I have a Christmas village. So yes, so lights inside, but outside not so much,” Miller said. “I don’t want to get up on a ladder, my husband doesn’t want to get up on a ladder.”
