Actually, the larger problem (okay there are two).
1) I don't own a stepladder (borrowing from a neighbor is an option).
2) We live in a traditional colonial, so we don't have guttering. It's on the list to add, hopefully when we replace the windows.
I see. Well, you're the home decorating expert... I suppose you could staple it to the roof but then it would be hard to take down. Duct tape?
Gee, I hope my neighbors hate my loud wailing of Christmas carols. They've annoyed me often enough, and I just can't help singing.
