1st Question: Can Woods timer model 16ULD/3A be used for Christmas light timing? The timer is in the garage not exposed to water at all.

I am unable to identify the 16uld timer.

Amazon has a page of their timers. I am familiar with all of these.
http://picclick.com/Amazon/Home-Improvement/Electrical/Timers/

Woods timers and manuals show on following link
http://waterheatertimer.org/Woods-timers-and-manuals.html

If you can visually identify the 16ULD timer, then add a comment and I can answer your question.

That being said, any timer can operate Christmas lights.
If your timer has photoelectric eye, then it has to be placed outside where it can respond to dusk and dawn changes in light.

But there are some Woods timers that have photoelectric eye, and that feature can be overridden.
Again it depends on the timer, and clear identification would help numerous folk who are asking fixya about your same timer.

To program Woods timers with segments:
Rotate dial until current time lines up with arrowhead located on inner dial
Segments around outer edge of dial lift up.
Use fingernail, or small screwdriver to lift up segments when you want timer to turn OFF.
Leave segments down for times you want timer ON.
Slide switch located on top of timer is manual override.
Move switch to ON position when you want lights ON full time.
Move switch other direction for timer program to operate.
Timer dial rotates with passing time.
Program repeats each 24 hours.
Table lamp must be turned ON for timer to function.
If timer doesn't work, check receptacle for power, check that lamp is turned ON, and check that bulb is good.
