Our Christmas tree

We have actually had our Christmas tree up since before we went to California. It had clear lights and not very many on it(pre-lit tree) Well I decided I did not like it anymore so we took the lights off. I know it sounds easy... It was not the had clippies holding each thing in place, then zip lines in other places. 5 HOURS later the lights were off. 4 hours later Chris and I went to bed with the bottom of our tree covered in lights. A whole other day later it is done. We now have 4,700 lights on our tree ond over 1000 feet of wire running through our tree. I decided to find out how much a tree like that would have cost. The closest comparison was a 12 ft tree(ours is 7-7 1/2 ft) with over 3000 light for a whopping 6,999 on sale for 3,999. So I wouldnt have bought that. Granted I did not look through all of the tree sites, but after 5 or 6 this is what I could find. Hopefully we don't start a fire:( A picture did not capture the essence of all the lights so here is some video, Kamrin thought it looked better in the dark
