I have my Christmas lights plugged into several outside GFCI electrical

They do have waterproof covers on them, but with the lights being
plugged into the outlet, I don't believe it is adequate coverage to
protect it from the rain and snow.

Would it be safe to simply tie a plastic bag around it? *Any other ideas?

Many thanks.

We plug ours into outdoor GFIs every year, & have to reset them a few
times per season. December here rain is the most likely precip, and it
will short something every time, no harm done, just reset them and go
on. I'm switching to LEDs this year, time will tell if they fair
better, worse, or about the same. I don't see any point in covering
them.
