It was time, tree has been up three weeks. Still looked green, but the needles were getting dry and crackly. Plus youngest son is going back to college in a few days. Doing it now, with his assistance is nicer than doing it later all by my self. Taking the tree down and packing all the stuff away for next season is never as much fun as putting the tree up before Christmas.
Note to the Christmas tree decoration industry. Cellophane windows in the boxtops suck. The weaken the always flimsy box, making it harder to pack the fragile stuff away. And, maker of bubble lights, is it necessary to use 16 gauge lamp cord to light 5 watt bubble lights? Surely something thinner would be cheaper? And lessen the cord drag that keeps turning the bubble lights on their heads. And those flimsy molded on plastic hooks break too easily leaving bubble lights hanging head down and not bubbling. Surely metal clips are not that expensive.
