The pre-lit ones are convenient, but it’s almost impossible to trace the strand if a section goes out. It’s easy enough to wrap a new strand in when there’s only one section out, but once you have multiple strands out it’s easier to just get a new one. I’m about at that point for next year. I wish they made artificial trees with enough space between the branches to actually hang stuff.
Lily’s not writing to Santa this year because she’s too busy clawing off the bottom half of the comic.
