I’m putting up our lights right now.

How do you do your lights? Top to bottom; bottom to top; in quarters ?

White or colored? Twinkling or other?

Recrudescence

Clark, the twinkle lights aren't twinkling. *

I'm pretty hardline on this topic, and I realize that it's not entirely rational.

Sometimes we turn the twinkling off because it can be kinda distracting when watching TV

The way you are, it's not your fault, you knew that
The way we were, so young and caught up in it

However they came attached when I bought the tree.*
