Default Re: Vintage Christmas Tree lights

We put our tree up this afternoon and adorned it with a set of old set of 50's classic cones that I bought earlier in the year and replaced those bulbs that were dead.
My wife and daughter were impressed but on a 6 foot tree they did appear a wee bit lost so of course we supplimented these with some 'modern' Christmas lights.
I really wanted a 'classic' look so I managed to get hold of yet another set of 50's cones. I just hope that they will arrive before Christmas.

Whats has amazed me is with all of the latest flashing led gizmo lights etc. the older lights do appear to be so much better to look at (perhaps its the childhood memories?).
