This Is Not A Subtle Tree
Got a pre-lit tree from Amazon, put it up tonight and maybe I should have paid closer attention to the review that said "this is not a subtle tree".
Welp, that's an understatement. It has glaringly bright multicolor LED lights at the tip of every branch surrounded by those filament fiber lights you see in glow lamps, etc and when you plug it in the default is SUPER FAST FLASHING OF EVERYTHING, PANIC IN THE DISCO, BABY.
I literally nearly fell down when I plugged it in it was so overwhelming. I finally got it to "steady LED lights and winky/fading filiments" but when the Sproglet got home from school his first words were still "Whoa. Will you look at that, huh?"
Unfortunately I'm afraid to turn it off now because I don't know what I did to get that setting. There are no dials, just two buttons that you have to click in some sort of coded order to get the thing to calm the hell down.
Maybe I just just let it go and charge people to come inside and rave. That will cover its cost at any rate.

Hey now,
fandom_stocking got some more stockings up and whoa, my stocking is on top of the page. I feel so sexy!
Now to be a good elf and write some stuffings. Now that my UFO, I mean tree, is up, I have time.

I have parties to attend all weekend and I can't think of anything to bring as a cold appetizer beyond the usual mozzarella/basil/tomato thing. These folks are anti-heating it up at their house -- I get that, but most appetizers are the 'serve hot immediately' kind except for dips, which I hate making.
Do you guys know of any non-dip cold appetizers? I'm stumped.
