This year I strung up these oversize plastic imitation Christmas bulbs along three strands of miniature lights. I have used thick silver or gold decorative wire in the past, but the multicolour mini lights I got last year were ideal, especially at night when they are lit and reflect off the blue tinsel. You can see a battery pack dangling in the top left. This one I could not hide but the other two are hidden amidst the tinsel.

My tree theme this year is blue decorations with the old-fashioned solid (opaque) C7 bulbs, which are impossible to find replacements for. Some stores in the US though still produce them and in large boxes of 25. All I find here are coloured clear bulbs in packages of four.
A tree so bright I don’t need to put on any lights in the living room or kitchen at night

I absolutely think your house decorated for Xmas is so interesting; from the vintage decorations to the collection of White Christmas movies and the old Christmas books! And of course, the lingering smell of short bread cookies🤩
Thank you for sharing💕
