New home, nice home, Forever home. However bad 2025 might SUCK, and believe me, we don’t have to look far to see evidence of that, this will be the year that we got our Forever Home.
Our old Christmas tree was probably 20+ years old. It was a bit ratty, and most/all of the built in lights were shot. It’s now part of the outdoor decorations in the front yard and makes a wonderful substrate for a couple of strings of lights. But for the new home with the tall ceilings and the gorgous Great Room and kitchn, we needed something bigger and newer.
There are eight or nine different modes for the built-in lights here, both colored and white, twinkling & steady, switching back and forth, very complex. For now we’ve settled on the steady white lights for this first “layer.” We’ll add strings of colored lights over the top, then ornaments of all kinds (we have a “garbage” tree design), then decorate the rest of the room and the interior.
In addition, the rest of the outdoor lights have arrived and I think I’ve hit (barely!) all of the super critical deadlines at work, so I’ll be able to take some time to get the rest of the outdoor lights up.
