LOTS of lights! I lost count after the 10th strand...so there's well over 1000 lights on the tree. I use multi colored. The ornaments all have special meaning...the ones the kids made in school, gifts from people, etc. That's the big tree. I also have a fiber optic tree, a white tree with red lights & blue ornaments & a small pink tree....retro. LOL I REALLY want one of those spindly silver aluminum trees with the color wheel...just like Grandma used to have.
A real tree, but I've scaled back the width but it must reach the ceiling. Angel on the top and lots and lots of multi colored lights. I have the special ornaments my kids made that I wouldn't trade for anything. I also have a bunch of Hallmark motion ornaments. Love the santa in the fire truck with his dalmation there. When you first plug in the tree the dog barks. Used to drive Rocky crazy. Now he is used to it.
