Thank you China!

A tip of the hat to our Pete Rose headed neighbors to the east.

I took my Christmas lights off the house today as it was finally nice on a weekend and if not for China making these things $1.99 for a strand of 100 I would have had to take them off all carefully and put them away neatly for next year. Instead, I got to head out with my trusty snips and cut the muthas off and throw em in the dumpster.

Thanks China. :cheers:

We went an even cheaper route this year.......'didn't even bother to put them up!! I noticed a lot of our neighbors didn't either. I guess I wasn't the only one lacking the Xmas spirit this year!

I go a really easy route then all those lights....I have a 12.5 foot inflatable Santa that I put in the front. Put it in place, a few tent stakes, a few support leads, plug it in and 12.5 feet of Christmas cheer.

I got a funny story about cheap Christmas lights, Steve. One year I was stringing up the lights with my son. He had to be about seven years old. I had stapled some up the year before and was re-using the lights. As I was up on the ladder, hanging them on the house, I noticed one of the wires in the strand was broken. I thought I would just strip the insulation off the wire with my teeth and twist the wire back together. Then when I came to the end of the strand I would get down and go get some electrical tape and wrap the wire. I put the wire in my teeth and got the piss knocked out of me. What I didn't know was that my son had plugged the lights in to admire my work. Jesus was I ticked.

Yer right, that is a funny story! :rofl:

:iagree:That is what we did and this year we did not buy a tree, just put lights on a house plant:dance:

No, me getting a chemistry set for Christmas one year and then consuming the whole thing in one sitting explains a lot.

I stand corrected. :lol:

I pissed my pants a funny day-glow orange color and forgot my name for a day and a half but other than that, everything was just perfect. I am pretty sure my anti-freeze was good until way below -20* in the winter of '83.
