In an effort to be greener this Christmas, when we realized that all but two of our strands of Christmas lights had burned out, I sent Chris to the store to buy some of those new fangled LED lights for the tree. $33 later, he had 4 sets on the tree in hopes that the extra cost would be worth it in a reduced power bill.
Then we turned them on. After we had all the decorations and tinsel on the tree.
They are HIDEOUS. UGLY. AWFUL.
DO NOT BUY THE LED LIGHTS!!!!! Unless you intentionally want your Christmas tree to look cold and weird and blue and odd, in which case, buy away. But if you like your Christmas tree warm and cozy and sparkly and capable of inspiring fond, fuzzy memories for generations to come, stick with the old power guzzling variety. They may burn out fast, but at least they don't look like evil robots decorated your tree.
I realize this post is useless without pictures, but pictures don't capture this correctly. You'll just have to come by for a demonstration.

So sorry! I'm sure your tree is still very lovely, but thanks for the warning. :~)
