Abstract: A light covering system for use in permanently attaching a holiday light string onto a building structure, and selectively seasonally displaying or concealing the light string. A housing includes a fixed portion and a cover. The fixed portion includes a back plate which is mounted directly to the building structure, a hood, and end plates. The string light extends taut between the end plates so that it does not contact any other portion of the housing. The cover is hingeably attached to the fixed portion so that it may selectively enter a closed position wherein the light string is concealed, and an open position for displaying the light string. A latch selectively holds the cover in the closed position until it is released by pressing a release button.
