LOL!
I too have a tiny tree on my counter and that is the ONLY tree I'm putting up this year! It is pre-decorated, so all I do is pull it out of a box and plug it in.
My mother-in-law has a FIT!

Merry Christmas!! The lights are all on in pic #1, but you can't tell so I turned off flash and got pic #2 where it looks like only the blue lights showed:

I actually tried to find those *big* colorful bulbs this year - like the old-style ones we had when I was a kid. Instead I found some similar LED ones at a decent price. Up close they're not smooth - but the colors are lovely. :) Personally I think they best-looking house I've seen around here is one that is COVERED in those big colorful bulbs - around every window, door, along every eave - just gorgeous. Like a candy house :)

We had some of the big ones when I was little, too, but as the years went on, bulbs broke or burned out and we couldn't get replacements. Nice to see them back in some form!

Yeah, I like them on houses, too. I suppose the white icicle lights are classier...but they just aren't as much fun!

They're still available. Look in the Hugh Home Improvement Stores.

Here is the royal family of Florida's almost-ten-footer, all silver and gold with the exception of the half-dozen pink Disney Princess Christmas ornaments the young princess insisted upon.
