We're here on a rainy Sunday putting our tree up.

I'm now convinced more than ever that one of the greatest lies ever perpetrated on mankind is, " WHEN ONE GOES OUT, THE REST STAY LIT" !!!

Man - I picked a helluva time to quit drinkin. Between the stock market, home sales, and now Christmas lights... Can't do anything about the first 2 items but I took care of the lights. Jan 08 I said, "Throw these lights away because I'll buy new ones next season when we get to TV." Hmmm - At this rate I may be buying an Easter bunny display.

I'm told that the newer LCD lights out there are much better and well worth it.

"...Some assembly required"

"...Batteries included"
(they're just dead!)

"...Now just between you and me..."

and one of the best of them all:

"...and nobody will ever know..."

Rshoffer,

I guess you really started something here and all because your Christmas tree lights wont stay lit!

This has turned into a really funny thread and should be titled"The Greatest lies ever told!"
