Christmas Lights

What do you guys do for christmas lights? we have them professionally put up by a landscaping company. I'll post a picture tonight when its darker.

 

We use the take them out of the box, and chuck them at the tree optionLOL

 

After you spend an hour in the loft trying to find them.

And another 2 hours trying to untangle them:-D

 

Ever notice how nicer those fairy light look, if you squint while your looking at themLOL

 

Oh and a tip! dont buy those chocolate christmas tree decorations.

The tree looks bare by the time christmas day comes cuz you'l just eat them:-D

 

We always used to have a big X-Mas tree. It took hours to set it up and decorate it, since no one else wanted to help out. Finally had 'nuff of it and bought an artificial puny little tree, already decorated and I put the lights on it. Set-up is 15 minutes. :-D After January it gets to be put back in the big garbage bag with the lights still on it, ready for the unveiling next time around. :cool

No outside lighting as we live in a condo.

 

We always do it up big for christmas.

 

You should have the Stripper Professionaly Decorated Dawg. :-D

 

Now I hate to sound like a grinch, but I refuse to spend $75.00 for a 5' tree that's already half dead by the time we get it home. Then once it's home, it's the untangling of 5 miles of lights, getting cut on X-mas balls that have broken during storage and watching my half-dead tree smolder if the lights get too hot!! This year, I got smart(?) I went and bought an 8' artificial tree pre-lite with 450, non-heat emitting colored lights, 6 boxes of rather nice looking PLASTIC X-mas balls (24 per box) and a star that actually stays on the top of the tree, where it belongs. My son is happy, I'm happy and my wife....well we'll save that for another thread!! This tree came in 3 sections and it will be beautiful...once I learn which plug you use to plug into the sections to get the lights to work!! Damn, I've never seen a tree with some many darn outlets!! I know, I know, you're all wondering what this 'smart(?)' person paid for all this splendor....well I'll put that into the same thread as my wife's opinion!!

 

We always get a 10' tree bcc our house is huge.
Im going to sleep now. Goodnight

 

Where's the pictures of the tacky lights then?!
