IF YOU'VE been putting off decorating your Christmas tree because you just can't be bothered dealing with the lights then keep reading.
One mum has shared her zig zag method, claiming it makes decorating your tree way easier, but not everyone is convinced.
Taking to TikTok, Clare Hoops, from the UK, revealed the method in a short clip that went viral with over six million views.
But viewers were left divided as to whether the hack really worked so Clare decided to share a step-by-step guide on the zig zag method.
She said: "I'm going to put the lights on and show you how I do it, for real not in 13 seconds."
She first started at the top of the tree and then creates a zig zag pattern with the lights, going from the top to the bottom of the tree.
To save time, Clare stopped halfway as her tree goes up against the wall, but she explained you can go all the way if you want to.
She added: "It means if your lights break it's really easy to take them off during the holidays and you don't have and you don't have to take all your decorations off to replace them."
The mum also said that the lights don't stay hanging on the tree and pushed each light string in between the branches of her tree.
"You can still see some of the lines but once you get your decorations on you won't see any of that," she explained.
The video has since gone viral with over 200k views, and while some said the hack worked for them others were left freaking out in the original video.
Many claimed that seeing the strings the lights were attached to would 'drive them insane'.
One wrote: "The wires being so visible would drive me insane!"
A second person added: "Don’t like it this way because you see all the wire."
A third penned: "Nope, round and round so the wire is properly hidden."
However, some were seriously impressed with how it looked after seeing how it looked once pushed into the branches.
Another person commented: "At first I was like noooo then once you pushed them in it looks wonderful."
Clare replied: "I think the first step is the one that freaks people out."
A fourth claimed: "I’ve used this method for the first time this year, it looks so much better!"
Meanwhile, a fifth wrote: "I've just done this today. Can't believe how much of a difference it makes."
