Roof spots for holiday lights (5)

I believe the answer is:

eaves

(Other definitions for eaves that I've seen before include "parts of housetops" , "Roof projection" , "Part of a building's roof that overhangs the walls" , "Overhanging part of roof" , "Overhanging roof edges" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
