A novel hanger, kit and method for hanging holiday lights on structures such as Christmas trees. The hanger includes a belt clip or other mount that is adapted to temporarily mount on a person, and a horizontal arm upon which cordage can be wound. The hanger includes a plug retainer which holds the end of the plug. The arm includes a plurality of detents or notches formed therein and spaced apart to partition the separate loops of cordage. The hanger is preferably made from an insulated rigid material such as an insulated wire frame to provide a strong structure but yet one that will not conduct electricity that could otherwise shock the individual to which the hanger is mounted. Utilizing the hanger, first the flexible cordage is looped around the hanger into multiple loops and the hanger is temporarily mounted on a person, such as by clipping the hanger on the belt of the individual. Then, the cordage is removed from the hanger as necessary to install the cordage on a structure. The method may also be used in reverse in which cordage is removed from the structure and looped on the hanger. Once removed, the hanger and the cordage looped thereon maybe stored until reuse is desired.
