Does ANYONE know an easy way to take down Christmas lights! I'd rather take down a troll!
Which demon will tie them all together as they are stored on top of the wardrobe? Presumably the same one that made me cut out branches from my lilac to get them down. I need a spell and I need it NOW!
Bears aren't good at Xmas decorations
[Guinness - clink, hissssssss, fizzzzzzzzzzzz, glugging noises, burp!]
All ideas welcome

Well, you should use your common sense and save a piece of cardboard from one of the boxes you got your huge prezzies in and wrap the lights round it. Hey presto!! Nice neat package that will store tidily away and be easier to use next year..............

Yeeeaaaah!
But how do you get them out of the tree when you KNOW how you got them up there but they now take a totally different and contorted route quite inaccessible from the ladder. The wires get into places that you COULDN'T have placed them because you couldn't get there.
I have seriously considered cutting up the wiring and inserting link plugs every two metres so I can get them down in a calm frame of mind.

Does ANYONE know an easy way to take down Christmas lights! I'd rather take down a troll! I found a good labour saving method for this a few years back. Its so simple I am gob smacked no one else has put the idea forward. Get someone else to do it ;D |

Or do what my parents did and leave them up all year around, makes giving directions to people real easy in July - just look for the house with Christmas lights - we also flew the flag so yeah we stuck out a bit.
