Default Christmas tree change thing happening.

I put up our tree about 4 or 5 days ago and tree came with whit liches and I added some multi colored string to brighten it up and then put other decorations on later. After that one day some color lights in the middle started blinking, and we noticed this. A few more days went by and the blinking lights stopped and I forgot about it. Well tonight the colored lights on the top portion of the tree started blinking. My DH and myself were eating dinner and DH said to me, Dear, Look at the tree!!!

I have had that happen to mine, especially if the grand kids have been around it. Somehow the bulbs that dictate what the lights do gets bump.

But the tree COULD be trying to communicate with you...can you synch it to music??????

I've had that happen when I replaced a burnt out bulb once. I replaced one with a bulb that had a red painted tip without realizing that was the blinker. Do they even make light strings that you can replace the bulbs on anymore?

My DH likes colored lights, I like white ones, so we alternate light colors every year, and I think he stays honest when he puts the lights on. Last year I passed by the tree and saw white lights (yeah, my year!), a few hours later I passed by the tree and saw colored lights....what??? That stinker, he put on white lights and colored lights and kept switching the light colors on me! What a guy! I love him!
