Cut off all the old ones, don't try to pull back off. Just snip in multiple places and remove. Then restring as if on a real tree.<br /><br />I quickly "repaired" a clients tree minutes before a party last year by adding in one 50 light strand into the area where lights had burned out. Rather than try to connect end to end I used a separate extension for just that strand for ease. Use whatever # of lights you need from 25-100..<br />hope that helps?<br /><br />xx<br />zoldgreymarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797732200457673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980404796995860528.post-23163778868540442372010-12-27T10:00:05.923-06:002010-12-27T10:00:05.923-06:00Sounds like it was wonderful!Sounds like it was wonderful!Alisa Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739920257852628288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980404796995860528.post-29821613493198608172010-12-27T08:35:36.433-06:002010-12-27T08:35:36.433-06:00Looks like you had a great Christmas.

It was a wonderful holiday but I'll be glad to get this place cleaned up & get life back to normal. It looks like the boys had a terrific time. We got pillow pets last year & they still love them! I know this Christmas was special for you & Larry, you had a lot to be thankful for. Love the new baby! Your house looks just beautiful. Have a safe new year!

Glad all went well with your holiday. Elle looks tired! Ah, just leave the tree, they won't care if there's no lights, I know I wouldn't. They'll be paying attention to the new puppy, not the tree! Ha ha. Love the pics of your grand boys. Take care, talk to you soon.

I think your dog has the right idea - too funny! <br />My tree is missing one row of lights and I'm thinking it's time for a new one too! I did the best I could trying the bend branches and fill in with ornaments, but it was a fruitless effort.<br />Well, it's so nice to meet you - hope you all are staying warm!<br />Blessings,<br />Sabre'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8980404796995860528.post-47022728603658108092010-12-26T17:42:53.148-06:002010-12-26T17:42:53.148-06:00Oh,dear!
