Frequently asked questions
Can outdoor Christmas decorations stay out in snow?
Pieces built for outdoor use handle normal winter weather; brush off heavy snow and stake figures against wind.
Battery or plug-in decorations?
Battery pieces avoid cords on doors and fences; plug-in pieces are better for large, bright displays.
When should I put up outdoor decorations?
Many US and Canadian homes decorate in late November after Thanksgiving weekend in the US.
