Having trouble getting those outdoor Christmas lights to shine bright? Is the Christmas tree inexplicably dark? One company in Glenview is making a living by helping those in need of a little tech help to make sure they get the most of of holiday displays. WBBM brings us details of a Christmas Lights Hotline being run by Ultra-Lit.

[Ultra-Lit VP Brian] Gleason says the Christmas Light Hotline gets about 100 calls a day from all over the country.

"The wife's on the phone giving directions to her husband in the tree. (She says), 'Please help us fix our tree and save our Christmas. It's kind of fun when we're successful and hear a cheer in the background. Sometimes it's as simple as just tapping the bulbs in a tree."

If you find yourself having issues channeling your inner-Griswold, you can call 888-858-2548.
