Yesterday we went up and decorated the beach house for Christmas... mostly. We dawdled a lot and didn't do the outside or all the usual inside decorations yet, we'll see if we get around to it. - Or Dona does :~D OK either way, and Barkley posed by the fireplace looked cute enough for a picture :~)
Shot Christmas tree lights are one of the most aggrivating things there are. You can spend hours working your way down a string with a spare bulb trying to figure out which one is the bad one. I’ve got a string of net lights that I put on a big grapevine wreath outside on the front of the shed and about half of them aren’t working but I sure as heck ain’t gonna sit there and work my way through all of those! It’d be my luck I’d miss one and then wind up at the end and still be no closer to fixing it than when I started. New ones sound like a good idea to me too!
