How do I decorate my balcony?
I reside in the suburbs of Chicago and weather can be unforgiving. How do I hang Christmas lights on my balcony without an outside outlet? I would love to decorate my balcony with lights and experience that festive feeling. Any suggestions?

Solar or battery operated lights.
When I had a balcony at a rental condo years ago, I just fed the cord through the sliding glass door. In CA no problem. Chicago, not so much. I would use battery operated lights, the solar lights have yet to be perfected.
I have had no trouble with solar powered lights. Mine charge well even on cloudy days. However, they won't charge on the north side of a building. The more sun the better.
Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions.
