Nothing exciting. I finished putting mine up last week in the dark, on the roof, with a cold North wind. Luckily, no excitement. Before getting on the roof I spent a week trying to replace those tiny little bulbs on a few strings and got fed up. It is just cheaper and easier to replace the whole string with a new set. The funny part--I made that ball of partially lit and colored light strings as my white elephant Christmas Gift. Too funny.

One year, my little brother tried to put the lights on the tree by spinning the treee around, like a roll of TP, cept puttin stuff on, not takin it off. Didn't work though, he just made a HUGE mess that resulted in about 3 hours work to untangle the lights.

There is a new type of Christmas light out, it uses a diode instead of the typical filament. It is supposed to last a * long * time and is much more durable. I saw a show on TV about it, but I cannot remember the name !
