Once again, the fake Austrian fir tree has descended from the loft, been unpacked and erected. Still in the loft are the twin set of white lights that were bought at the same time as the tree. In the dining room are the coloured lights that were bought 4 years ago to replace the increasingly unreliable white lights.
The coloured lights live in the box with the tree, neatly folded and packed in their original packaging. sliding off the plastic sleeve causes them to spring out, to tumble and tangle a bit. Then, the annual question; are you feeling lucky? To test the lights before decorating the tree or not? This year - not. They worked anyway. It made my day.
