Have you seen that commercial where the Mom plugs in the tree and is so proud showing it to her family? The kid asked why the bulbs are so large, and she says it's a new style called 'Retro'! LOL!
I like those really HUGH bulbs; we used them on our big evergreen outside for many years until the critters started chewing through the wires and ruined them. Bah!
I don't have TV...haven't seen it. So...those are coming back? Kewl...
We had these hugh red bells when I was a kid...hung them on the front of the house.
It always felt like Christmas when we hung them...
I'm hoping I'll find some someday...
We didn't put up the orange bulbs this year. We put up the orange strand last year because (if you recall) we thought Steve was going to graduate that December and then they had the big meeting and Dr. Jackass told him his paper wasn't "thesis worthy". Anyhow, we kept the orange ones up and plugged them in when he actually did graduate in May.
Now we're back to a simple strand of multi-colored bulbs.
