Christmas Tree Lights
There is nothing more beautiful than the warm glow of Christmas Tree Lights. I love the way they illuminate the room. They set off such a soft and warm glow. When we use colored lights the hues dance off the walls and when we use white lights, they give off a soft golden glow.
Every year I find myself sitting by the tree with a cup of hot coca or hot apple cider completely enjoying the Christmas tree lights. We have several different sets of holiday decoration lights. Some twinkle, some stay on constantly, some fade up and down, some are colored and some are white.
Every year we put up a different type of Christmas tree lights. I always enjoyed them all. I always wait for the evening of the first snowfall. I turn off all of the lights in and around the house except for the Christmas tree lights. Then I walk outside in the snow and watch how the glow plays off of the fresh powdered snow.
Some years I had to wait until well after Christmas for the first snowfall. Every year I take a few long rides to see the decorated homes, but I find myself searching for the Christmas tree lights more than anything else.
The obvious downside to having so many different kinds of Christmas tree lights is storing all of them. Every year you are sure to find your holiday string light sets all knotted up in a ball of tangled wires.
I devised a way of rolling them to prevent this. I took the tube from a used up roll of wrapping paper and strung the lights around it. I then used scotch tape to secure the ends to the roll. I have not had any problems with tangled Christmas tree lights since I started this practice.
The other annoyance is the burning out of that one well hidden bulb. There is nothing more discouraging than plugging in your Christmas tree lights and nothing happens. This begins the exhausting task of finding that one bulb that is shutting down the entire set of lights. They sell Christmas tree light testers. Of course we bought one.
We quickly noticed that it took the same amount of time to check them with a bulb and to use the tester. We actually do use the tester after the several hours we wasted testing our holiday lights with a burnt out bulb. All in all, the incontinences are well worth the beauty of some well placed Christmas tree lights.
