#610 Plugging in the Christmas lights from last year and having them all work

Nope, not even a year twisted into a ball of knots in the basement could take the sparkle out of these bright little bulbs. So untie them slowly, hang them quickly, and help get the whole neighborhood shining.

AWESOME!

(Big news! We’re gonna unveil the book cover next week!)

  1. my fake tree (lame) came with all the lights already on and working. no satisfaction for me :(

    Awesome!

    Also: Fictional.

    ;-)

  3. I’m quite surprised that, despite our other amazing technological inventions, that humans have not figured out a more effective method for making this happen more often.

    Personally, I’ve never experienced this.

    Also, congratulations on the book progress. I can’t wait for that cover. Although why do I think it might involve bed-head baby…

      Seriously. This will be my 35th Christmas and I’ve yet to see it happen. ;)

      But that’s why, if it does ever happen, it will be truly AWESOME.

    Talk to my mom about Xmas! (Shes the crazy one..)

  7. Elizabeth

    The book cover!? yay!

  8. Haha. I remember putting lights on the tree when I was young without testing them first. Then having to take the entire string off again because they didn’t work.

    We’ve never had that happen, I always end up scavenging for replacement lights, and this year was the worst, because we got a 3 new sets last year, plugged them in this year, and all 3 don’t work, and I ain’t got a clue why, so now we got 3 new sets, and plenty of replacements, heh heh.

    This is so true in the case of putting up Diwali lights year after year it is a struggle of uncoiling, dusting, hooking up without smashing any of the little bulbs and then holding your breath when turning the switch and lo! they are on in all their twinkling glory..small victory against obsolesence!

  11. Shel

    This did not happen year.. would have been truly awesome if it had!

  12. LynzCatastrophe

    This didn’t even happen with the new lights i had bought. Wish me luck for this year!!

  13. Acar

    Been putting up lights for over 30 years. I nearly fell over when this happend to me this year! Now I had another dilemma…what to do with the 3 hours in the cold I usually waste getting them to work!

  14. Bobert

    Even better when I put them up really really fast!

  15. Numnum

  16. Tyras fasty buns

  23. Ghia Escoto

    My family only started to hang Christmas lights 2 years ago and up until now they all still work, but not for long…

  24. Ally Parti

    Imagine when the days when the trees were lit by candles~ Yikes!
    In the 60′s, they were always a tangled mess; some were smashed glass and well, this was the real live version of the nightmare before Christmas.
    But today, I’m proud I’m here to say, I’ve transcended from Christmas’ past and make manifest more of #610; divine as it should be!
