I wonder.....

[catnapper]

How many people are admitted to psychiatric units after they spent hours trying to untangle Christmas lights only to realize they don't work!

I SWEAR they worked before I started the untangling process!

I was a woman on a mission to use those lights; I was NOT about to run to the store for a new set of lights among the droves of people... so I was going to untangle them or die!

The score stands:
lights, 1
Kim, 0

The question now is this: Do I have the emotional fortitude to go through a 300 light strand to find the burnt out bulb?

[Miss Z]

Yep that's true another annoyance is not being able to work out which bulb has caused them to all go out !

[k9krazee]

Oh no, thats the worst part. Good luck!

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

I know the frustration, but no longer decorate, so I think I will be spared my sanity this year.

[jackie]

OMG, I feel your pain.

Now I only buy the stands where the burnt out bulb is the ONLY one which goes out. I also plug the lights in before I untangle and as I dress the tree.

Happy Holidays everyone! Let the fun begin!

Oh no..... poor you!!!
Guess I am the lucky one here this year: no untangling needed . Why?? My light chain broke down last year (the wires were all hot ). So, all I have to do is go to a shop and spend money on brand new lights!! Oh please, let me find a good set; like I said, I am ot expecting any untangling this year.... or.... is it "in your dreams, Lut!!" ??
