My new Christmas wreath confuses me.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

It’s a lighted wreath. I had one a few years ago that had a little hidden battery pack. I couldn’t find one of those. Besides, the batteries didn’t last long.

My new one has an electrical cord. Yay! no changing the batteries every 3 days.
But, where in the hell am I supposed to plug it in at? Even if I had an outlet outside the door, how could the door be opened while the wreath is plugged in? Am I supposed to run the cord under the door and plug it in inside? That’s still going to interfere with normal door usage.

So I have this fancy new wreath with lights on it, and if the porch light hits them just right, you can see them.

Oh, just take a diesel engine out there and use that. Of course the exhaust might not be great, but that’s just the price of doing buisiness.

3

Do you have a light outside on the hinges-side of the door? If so, you could get one of those adapters that add a two-prong outlet to a light socket, and run them off of that. If it’s on the other side of the door, you’d have to get inventive with the cord…

4

Nope. Only one outside outlet and it’s in the back.

5

You could hang it in a window, inside…

6

It’s not supposed to be hung on the door. It’s supposed to be hung on the house near the outdoor plug. Or inside the house in a window.

If youi don’t have an outdoor plug, then you have to get a battery-operated wreath, or skip the lights.

7

It’s a regular wreath. If I hung it outside, a gust of wind would blow the poinsettias and ribbon off.

8

Not sure I understand, then; how would anyone see it outside then if you hung it on the door inside?

Oh, does the door have a clear window on it, so the people outside could see it? Or you have a regular door and then a storm door?

I would go with hanging it inside on a regular window.

9

Yeah, I was planning on hanging it on the outside of the door but inside the storm door.

10

I usually put it outside and squash the cord under or beside the door so it can reach an inside plug. Not so good for the extension cord, but hey, it works.

It works until card damage cause a lot of resistance and starts burning. You might end up with an electrified door also.
