62. White lights on the indoor, prelit artificial tree, non-twinkling.
Sat Dec 7, 2024, 01:58 PM
Saturday

I put lights on 25+ bushes and trees outside.

*back yard:
- a flamingo willow gets green string lights wrapped around the trunk and a few of the lower branches, and steady multi-colored string lights around the whole circumference of the upper branches and looks rather like a large lollipop
- 5 small bushes around the base of a maple tree get steady green string lights
- 3 arbovitae are also wrapped in steady green string lights and topped with bright white twinkling snow flakes
- 4 little I-don't-know-what-they-are bushes in front of the arbovitae get draped in steady multi net lights
- the maple tree has a warm white twinkling buck deer standing by it and the arbovitae have a doe and baby deer standing by them/ the baby deer is looking up at his mother, and the doe is looking toward the buck

*front yard:
- a big burning bush is wrapped in at least 8 strings of twinkling multi-colored lights and looks kind of like a giant gumdrop
- all the remaining small bushes in front of our bay windows are a mix of multi and white net lights

*the bay windows get electric candles in them

My deer are the Phillips brand carried at Target, and I like them because they have eyes and noses and look more like real deer, in a Disney sort of way, than the kind with no facial features. See link below.

I love Christmas lights!
