Outdoor Christmas lights help!!!!?

Whenever I turn on the Christmas lights outside my house, they turn on for a fraction of a second and then turn off. Then the power to some parts of the house (in this case, the garage and some outlets upstairs) are shut off. It has been raining quite a bit lately, so is that the problem? The lights I'm using are outdoor lights.

    It shouldn't be a problem, outdoor lights are weatherproofed for use outdoors. Check the circuit breaker, see if there's a circuit that's being tripped. If so, without the fuse blowing, then you may be overloading the circuit and it's shutting off so as to not blow the fuse. If not, then you may have to call an electrician to figure out what's happening.

    My house is defined in crimson/white icicle lighting fixtures, my domicile windows in blue, and my fenceline in multicolor. I actually have a santa clause and reindeer in the front backyard on one section and a blowup snowman kin on the different, and a blow up candycane archway that asserts seasons greetings. seems super.
