I finally found a 4 ft tree I liked and was cheap, but it was pre-lit. So I spent about an hour taking the lights off, it had those plastics twist ties on a few that I had to cut off and the rest were these things that kept the lights attached to the branches I was able to pull off but it wasn't easy and there were ALOT of them. There were 150 lights total so yeah. And then it took me another hour to put the new pink lights on but it all looks so puuuurrrty. And I was going to just take the bulbs out of the socket and put the pink ones in so I wouldn't have to remove the lghts, but they didn't fit right so yeah. Maybe that's a good thing, in the long run it might've been more work because you know, 150. So now I wait until Dec. 1st to trim the tree! I have alot of ornaments, I bought I think 8 or 9 in the past 2 months to add to the collection, and there are a couple over at Macy's I want to go back and get because when I first saw them I thought they were too big for my 2ft tree and now they'd be fine but I'd have count to know how much I have total.
