I've never been a fan of all white lights. Donna put up a small tree with all white lights and I unplugged it. I wouldn't want it on my house and I certainly hope it doesn't catch on in my neighborhood. . . . I would have to close the drapes.

Ever wonder where all the white icicle outside lights went. For a couple years every other house had them. Now I suspect they are all in the trash; thank you China.

My outdoor "tree" that I used indoors has colored lights. However, when I used to put up a tree, I was a fan of the all white lights. Feel free to come by, Dave. I won't offend you with white lights.

That would be cool, sprinkled all over your car cover with white lights hanging on it.

I am not familiar with what embedded bulbs means.

Joey, could you please explain it to me?

Thanks in advance.

I have a fake Christmas tree that is pre-wired with LED lights. The lights are part of the tree with wires attached and they have to be plugged in together after assembling the three tree parts. It's not as straightforward as it should be.

Patty, so does that mean that your lights are not embedded?

We just bought a new tree this year at Costco. The lights do not have to be plugged in together. Does that mean they are embedded?

I have no idea. Perhaps yours are embedded. I hope to see a photo. My tree will be set up when I get back to Colorado. I don't want to neglect giving Maury his December cat tree.

I'm in California until Monday night. So many changed plans due to people getting Covid, a bad cold and bronchitis that I have to just laugh and keep going to the next plan. It's been constructive changes if not fun.

I am still decorating it. Goblue thinks it already has enough ornaments but, really, does a Christmas tree ever have too many ornaments?
