A bracket for supporting decorative lights from, for instance, a rain gutter of a building having a member that extends under a gutter support such as a gutter nail or gutter nail with a sleeve around it, the bracket member having extensions that extend away from the nail and then rise to the top of the gutter, extend over it and down a short distance where these extensions extend toward one another and then away from one another after approaching to a distance that approximates the diameter of the socket for the bulb. The extensions moving away from one another are in the form of spirals to hold the wires extending from the socket. The downward part of the extension may be angled inwardly to maintain contact with an inwardly sloping outer surface of the gutter. In a configuration for carrying the wires of the string around a corner, the member that normally extends under the gutter support is raised to a generally horizontal plane and configured to contact the inner surfaces of the walls defining the gutter on the two sides of the angle. Otherwise, the structures are similar except that no provision for the socket of the bulb may be required.
