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.
A popular decoration this year is the HUGH foil stars that folks are attaching to their home's siding. Some are red, some are gold, and they're pretty! Our neighbor up the street has one on either side of her front door, in between the first and second floors.
Are you talking about the red plastic bells that lit up? We used to have some of those, but I haven't seen them in years.
Target does have some larger red plastic bells and balls for sale. It may not be what you're looking for, but they might be similar.
And if you can catch them after Christmas, they give pretty signficant discounts.
