Fuck. I hung a long string of Christmas lights around the ceiling of my living room while pecariously balanced on a chair. They were great to look at when turned on last night. I got up this morning and they won’t turn on. And I broke one of the bulbs trying to figure out which bulb was loose. And now I have no extra bulbs that fit this string. Fuck.

Your mistake was not wrapping the string around your neck while balanced on the chair.
Friggin’ x-mas lights
Buy some LED’s… they are cheap.
you have a set of serial lights? what are they, 20 years old?
damn…
Fack Christmas anyways!
OP I used to have lights on my Christmas tree and they were always blowing out… now I use no lights and I decorate my tree all in silver. I put up Christmas decorations on the wall but I dont strings up lights at all.
A Christmas song for you OP:

Bon, pretty and much ‘greener’ christmas.
I hear you can stick lit matches all around the window. Looks pretty.
This is one LAME fuckin’ bitch. Time to get newer lights OP or fire insurance!
