Okay - so how come the lights work fine before we put them away in the attic and then the next year when we go to plug them in, they don't? Am I missing something here? I mean there's no moving parts that I'm aware of - what goes on in the dark side of the attic anyway??

Seriously, the wife got LED lights for the tree this year and they look fabulous - kinda spendy yet, but supposed to last forever. We'll revisit this next year when they emerge from the attic!!

Merry Christmas and Blessings to All!
