Do you do the squint test? You know when you are putting the lights on the Christmas tree, and you stand back and squint your eyes when you are looking at it, to see if the lights are evenly spaced all over the tree.I see a few sparse places in the lights on this tree now that I'm looking at this picture that I didn't see after I "squinted"!
I just love the cozy glow of Christmas lights. Don't you?
Happy Anniversary to my wonderful in laws today! I hope it will be extra special for you!
Love, Rachel
P.S. Have you ever totally undecorated a tree and completely redecorated it because some of the lights went out on it? Please tell me! AND yes, I have!

Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYes, I've done that a number of times over the years. It drives me crazy if something is not right. Your tree is lovely, by the way. Have nice day.

Thank you, Rachel, for the greetings. We plan on driving up to Pidgeon Forge today to celebrate this 47th anniversary. Where oh where have all the years gone? When you enjoy life, the years just fly by. :~)
ReplyDeleteLove you,
I do the same thing! It does help. Your tree is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! We have 4 inches of new snow today!!!!
Hugs, Sharon
Well, I don't do the squint test in exactly the same way you mentioned...I just take off my glasses and look through my poor old eyes! LOL! It's a family tradition around here!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I guess I do that without really realizing it! Your tree looks great!
ReplyDeleteI can't say I ever tried that one but it sounds like a good idea. Beautiful tree.

Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteYes, I admit I do the squint but mostly for fun and not a test!! LOL
I've done that since I was a child. It looks like little stars shining when you squint!! I have a prelit tree which is about 20 years old and just pray every year when we put it up that the lights still work!
Your tree is very pretty and yes it does make things cosy.
Hugs,
Hope
Your tree is great - love the colored lights. Sally
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteYour tree looks beautiful. My tree has all white lights, and I have to say that I miss the colored lights! Hope you're having a wonderful week.

I did the undecorate and redecorate thing with the lights yesterday! Fortunately, only the lights were on, so I didn't have to take of decorations! But had they been on, they'd have come off, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the snowflakes on your tree! As usual, it's beautiful!
Love, Esther
I need to do the squint test on mine to avoid looking at the large spaces in the bottom:-) Your tree looks very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI never knew about the squint test! Thanks for the holiday tip!
ReplyDeleteLove your tree. I love the warm, cozy glow at Christmas.
