It's christmas time again!
« on: November 29, 2002, 07:18:00 pm »
As we all know, it's that time of year again. time to break out the christmas decorations, which includes the best part: THE LIGHTS! the way I decorate, I go with this saying: Can't have modern without some vintage. so along with the miniatures I have some C-7s strung, and a C-6 candelabra in the window. Like to hear everyone else's opinions on holiday lighting

Hi...As for me my main tree(very large spruce) it has modern bubblers as well as plain colored bulbs mixed in with some being flashers. The ornaments are repro figural mostly with a mix of Radko and Old World. My mantle has imitation green garland strung across in which I hid 2 stings of sockets. The sockets have old C7.5 figural lamps in them on a dimmer. I have a nice Nativity set atop the mantle with a centerpiece lamp holding 7 matchless stars also on a dimmer. Then I have a table top tree resembling a feather tree to which I affixed 3 C6 strings with upright sockets. In these I have pear shaped carbon lamps with exhaust tips....I must admit it all looks nice!

My wife and I have multicoloured minilights on our Christmas tree, and also on 1 or 2 trees in the front yard.  Along the rail of our front sundeck is a string of c7 Christmas lights that have some steady glow and some twinkle lights.
