E.V.E.R. Love your writing ;) I'm being a scrooge this year and not wanting to get started at all decorating. I'd have to say fluffing the tree is the worst part (we have allergies hence a fake tree). Duck would love to have one of these as his job is dealing with the lights. I'm sure he'd be as happy as the Boy was with the new toy :) This is probably one of the best reviews I’ve ever read. E.V.E.R.

I'm a mommy also except my Man/Child took off to New Jersey at peak of midlife crisis for a job change. He is still "my boy," though I don't see him often. Alas, that leaves me with decking the halls and engaging in my annual love/hate exchange with my Christmas lights, solo. Here in upstate NY we have lake effect snow almost daily. I have these awesome dangling icicle lights with multi-function controls that are usually sparkling up my arbor and fence. Not so this year, as 3 out of 4 strands won't hold up their end of the deal!! Hoping for help in upstate NY Love reading your posts!

The part I dislike most is trying to repack the decorations and trying to find room in the boxes for any new ones. This tool would come in so handy this year since we don't have money to replace any non functioning lights this year. I agree with Chris.

The lights are horrible too, seems like every year you spend hours trying to get them to work!

What can be better than a new tool or gadget? A new tool or gadget that is used for Christmas decorations. So, the part that I hate most about Christmas decorating is when I have to take everything down and put it all away. Somehow, all of the decor never seems to fit in the boxes the same way it did when I unpacked it all. My wife shared this post with me knowing that this toy would be right up my alley.

The time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is always super busy for us and it just seems there is not enough time to decorate the way I want to! This year with our move it is making it even more difficult...I'm planning to get started tomorrow. Hopefully, I can find all my decorations! lol My least favorite part of Christmas decorating is finding the time to do it!!

I think My DH would we super Geeked if I won him one of these...I may haunt places after Christmas to get a deal on one for all the Mr. Fix-its in my life!

Not only the figuring out if they work, but they leave a yucky residue on your hands. I think Hubby would be just as giddy as the Boy if we got this!!
