New lights for the Tree

Every year for the last couple of years, I have gotten the Christmas tree completely decorated only to find that a couple of days later there is a strand of lights that doesn't want to stay lit. How frustrating! So this year I decided we needed new lights. I always put multi-colored lights on the tree before but I really wanted a complete change. I wanted something that would go with all my snowman ornaments. It was either going to be all white or all blue. I chose to get some LED lights in BLUE. The grandkids helped me do the tree decorating this year, so they wrapped all the lights on the tree and we plugged them in. OMG...LED lights are so much brighter! It took me a little while to get used to all the blueness. But I think I like it!

What I'm not sure about is the effect on my ceiling. Look at this!

It reminds me of a Disco. LOL Especially with the star that blinks too.
It definately is a change from before. The grandkids love it!
I'm sure I will too after I get all the ornaments on it.

We have the same taste!! I always decorate my tree in blue and silver..with blue lights. I got new LED blue lights this year as well (was having the same problem you were) and your right..they are REALLY bright! Just takes some getting used to..cause I love mine now! The disco effect is funny though!

The grandkids' joy makes it just perfect! I almost changed over to multi-colored lights this year but chickened out. Now I wish I had.

Oh yes, it's happened to me before as well that some light strands have decided not to work after I've put them on the tree. I really love your tree with it's blue lights...growing up, my mom always decorated our family Christmas tree with blue lights and blue ornaments. Ok, now time to do a disco dance!!! hehe xoxo
