minendo Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I just supervise while the woman does all the work. Have yet to get sick from that.
Gporter34 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I use to, but I bought a pre-lit and now I don't have to worry about it. It took alot of joy out of putting up the tree to mess with those lights.lol
Tracy72 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Posted October 30, 2005 my lights aren't that bad...I plug them up first thing and leave them lite while I put them on...
bayhaysay Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I can honestly say that has never happened to me so yes, I am laughing (sorry, couldn't help it). You might try popping a couple dramamine this year. Good Luck!
alimfp Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Hasn't happened to me either. We don't put a lot on our tree though. One strand of lights and about 25 ornaments I'd say? I was thinking of a popcorn string this year, but I am sure my toddlers would just eat it, lol.
mjmcca Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Nope never happened to me but one year when i was in HS i was putting hte lights onthe tree adn they started smaking and my mom made us leav ehte house. She was afraid it was going to catch on fire.

happysunshine28 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I put the lights on up and down, that around thing is just to hard for me.
meow62 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I am laughing, but only because it happens to me (so I'm really laughing with you)! What I've learned to do (since we have a fake tree) is to weave the lights up and down on top of each level before putting on the next section. That way, I don't get sick from going in circles and when I'm finished, the lights show up from inside the tree as well as the outside. Admittedly, I learned this technique from a co-worker!
decafmom Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Dh puts the lights on, so it's not happened to me. I can't stand doing the lights!!
Guest all2tired Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I don't get sick but I do get cut up by the branches
snakeswiff Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I just supervise while the woman does all the work. Have yet to get sick from that. Gee that sounds like how it works in my house! It usually takes me two days to get the tree completely decorated....I am only 5 feet tall and our trees are always in the 14-15 foot area....hauling that huge ladder around the tree wears me out!!!
DKS88 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Because my tree is so large, I bought net lights. All I have to do is wrap them around and plug in.
snakeswiff Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Because my tree is so large, I bought net lights. All I have to do is wrap them around and plug in. They are not a PIA to put on the tree? I always imagined having to wrestle with them to get the branches through! Maybe I will have to invest in them!
little*miss*a Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 My advice would be...Go get a Prelit Tree!! LOL!
Gporter34 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 My mom's tree is a nine footer, and she has me wrap each branch with lights as I put them on the tree. We usually end up putting about 2500 lights on that bugger. I am BEGGING her to buy a pre-lit.lol
erh12275 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Nope has never happened but I have always had help.
Tracy72 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Posted October 30, 2005 my new tree has the different branches so I will not be gettin sick anymore...wrap then put on...lol...
Gator Pam Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I also wrap each branch with lights. Takes forever but looks so nice! My problem is watching my step as I string the lights and decorate. I have a trick ankle, and have twisted it several times while decorating the tree.
drmy91 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Our tree is pre-lit so I cheat. I just put up and have the kids decorate with their handmade treasures. This year its silver and blue.
Guest Deals4Me Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 LOL...took enough of them in my life time....lol...should have bought stock in them...lolHave you tried the pressure point wristbands? You can buy them at the Walmart.... My hubby swears by them!
Tracy72 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Posted October 31, 2005 Have you tried the pressure point wristbands? You can buy them at the Walmart.... My hubby swears by them!yea...the only thing I got with them is pain....evidently I didnt have it in the right spot....all I know is that it really hurt...lol
eve Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 yea...the only thing I got with them is pain....evidently I didnt have it in the right spot....all I know is that it really hurt...lollol that'd be my luck
srace Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Our tree is prelit but it is so small I don't have to go around it to much to put on the garland.
Gporter34 Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I went ahead and bought another tree tonight and it is pre-lit, too. Wouldn't want it any other way.lol
treasure60 Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 I don't put the lights on the tree,,hubby does that then me and my daughter finish decorating it. But he hates checking to see if all he lights are going to work,,,usually a few are out and he has to put new ones. By the times he has them all set with new bulbs the lights are tangled up. I just go about my business and not say anything or we wouldn't be having lights on the tree. He refuses to decorate by the time the lights are wrapped around the tree...lol
Tracy72 Posted October 31, 2005 Author Posted October 31, 2005 hubby hates it when I holler..".GET THE TREE DOWN AND PUT IT ON THE PORCH...OPEN IT UP MAKE SURE NO MICE ARE IN IT...MAKE SURE ALL THE SPIDERS ARE OUT...AND THE LADIE BUGS"...LOL...he takes the girls to his mothers for atleast an hr so I can atleast get thelights on it...but I have a new bigger tree so might need more time...lol
