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.

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!:giggle:

LOL...took enough of them in my life time....lol...should have bought stock in them...lol

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!

I don't get sick but I do get cut up by the branches

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!!! :cheesy:

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!

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

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.

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

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
