Using your Personalized Christmas Lantern is easy. First, open the lantern and insert the included batteries. Then, place it in a desired location in your home, like on a side table or a mantel. To personalize it, provide your chosen message, family name, or photos when placing your order. When it comes to maintenance, keep the lantern in a dry place to prevent any damage to the plastic. If it gets dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may scratch the lantern or damage the print. When not in use, store it in a safe place to ensure it lasts for many holidays to come.
