Not a single string of our Christmas tree lights worked (cheap made-in-China crap, I'm sure), even after I slowly went around tightening up the bulbs. So that's a whole bag ready to go to the strings-of-lights recycling bin at La Tienda. And as a result - off we went to Target (do not politically judge us - where else could one reliably find lights on a Sunday morning that wasn't worse, like Home Depot?) - and found that they were on sale at 30% off, so as well as adorning our tree, I bought this ridiculous tinsel orb and hung it from a tree in the yard, where it's gently rotating in the very slight breeze.
And yes - Christmas decor has been rather last-minute this year, and is by no means complete, but there's actually something rather satisfying about doing it late in the day ...
