I can't wait to see your pictures!!! |

Anyway, I replaced that bulb with one of the extras and on all the lights came - even the ones that had been out - those 6 or so that wouldn't light!!! I swear they are all burning. I got a flashlight and looked all around in the limbs and couldn't see any bulbs out! I think we had a little "miracle" (haha) and I think my second rate little tree is not going to have to go back to the store. I still may call the store manager and see if I can bring it back for another after Christmas just in case it has a short or something, IDK. But it seems I have this little memory flitting around that I've had trees before that one certain bulb being out did control the strand or part of a strand if it were an anchor bulb or something like that - that there was one bulb in a strand that controlled the strand or something. I may just be dreaming that and "misremembering" all that but anyway, we'll see. I did go ahead and put the red ornaments on it yesterday after those bulbs all seem to light. It looks very nice now. Very bright - sure glad I didn't get all white or all clear lights on it. I think I'd have to wear sunglasses. It puts out a lot of light for just a 6.5 foot little tree. |
Well, our tree got delayed until this coming Friday night (boo lol). But, I did take Mandie to get her very first Santa pic done today..see below.
I'm so happy that you got your lights on! Lights are like the best part!
