Holiday

[Susan Louise]

I can't believe the colored lights I ordered arrived already...WOOT!!!  

I just put them on the tree and it's ready for the holidays with some arctic foxes and snowy owls underneath. Time to bring the tree back into the basement with a plastic bag over it til then

I know some folks like decorating with all white, but I have to add some color

Here's the before with just the clear...

And here it is with the added 100 string of random flicker colored lights...

Very nice. I do use just white lights, but your tree with the addition of the colored lights, wow! Good call on that.

@Snicks1  Thanks!  I've been putting both colored and white lights on a Christmas tree ever since I moved out of my parents home in the early 80's (that should give you a clue of how old I may be...)  

I'm sure I am an oddball, but I always found just white lights boring and just colored lights didn't give off enough light on the trees no matter how many I put on...LOL

I put a pic of our Christmas tree last year on another thread, but here's a pic of it with all our lights off except for the decor and from another angle. I put 2 - 100 bulb clear 'random flicker' (every 5th bulb flickers) lights strings and 2- 100 bulb colored light strings on steady on our tree...

I really like how that looks. Good job, lady!

@Susan Louise  How many lights would you think a three foot tree could hold well?  I have one which is flocked, from probably ten years ago, but never used it.

@mousiegirl  The 4' BL flocked tree (tree itself is 3' - urn 1') has the 100 clear lights already on it. I then added 100 colored lights. The info about the colored lights I bought is HERE in my OP...so 200 lights altogether for a 3' tree

@Susan Louise  I have two strings of the colored in my amazon cart for $12+ and free shipping, so thank you for the info about the amount, thought it might be two strings.  I want to be able to do it myself as DH moans and groans about the eight foot green tree, lol.

@mousiegirl  Forgive me, but I am confused  

So you are about to order 2 strings of the colored...how many bulbs per string?...if 100 each?...then you are just doing colored lights...right?

Does your 3' flocked tree already have lights on it - prelit? Is it the BL tree?
