You may be too young to remember when Christmas lights were family heirlooms. Bulbs (not the puny things of today) were easily replaces, wires that broke were even repairable.
But cheap imports.......you know the rest

I've been using the same sets now for about 8 years. Every year I warn myself that I'll probably have to replace and I'll be damned, they still work.

We have installed 18 houses so far this year with only about 6 bulb failures. Don’t buy cheap stuff and you will be good

My fake tree has four sections.the top section has lights out. Simple fix. Lower sections plugged in and tested. Top section, plugged in and tested…replace bad bulbs.. all lights on, no problem. Just make sure the rotating base, spins the tree slowly….have an issue with a tree that launches lights.

I buy incandescent. It's the LEDs that always fail.

“Christmas is a scam.

I hate every minute of it.

Halloween is by far the best holiday.”

This post confirms many opinions. Wow! The birth of Christ should be celebrated. I pray that your outlook changes.
Halloween is a non event at my house. Fun for kids, and I hand out candy to the truckloads of trick or treaters we have every year but make no mistake. It’s something I endure because of where I live.
Seriously, gonna pray for you and that your opinion changes…

Don’t buy cheap lights. I have been using the same stands of Evergreen lights for 10 years.
