find C9 indoor strings that aren't LED, and those look terrible.

I just hack them out with scissors and knives.

For the bulbs, I went more old-school look, kinda of the fatter color bulbs. I like the way they look. It's a bit more festive.

Christmas tree question, for I assume Effin. Where is the best place to buy spare bulbs? - doubledown December 8, 2025, 9:26:12

I would rather buy a new tree* - biclops December 8, 2025, 10:51:46
- Have you seen what they're trying to get for new trees? And the new ones are covered in shitty LED - doubledown December 8, 2025, 10:52:41
  - get the LED out, tree makers!* - Sammich December 8, 2025, 10:55:57
  - IDK we bought our last one a couple years ago at a post-Xmas clearance sale - biclops December 8, 2025, 10:55:26
can you just buy new string lights and restring it? we did that with our old prelit* - lcubed December 8, 2025, 10:50:35
There's a bunch of different styles of bulbs on those prelits. - Illiniphil December 8, 2025, 9:34:46
Last year I bought bulbs on Amazon and spent what had to be 3 hours replacing bulbs. - tvillini December 8, 2025, 9:34:16
