I don't like to brag or anything, but I am now convinced that I have super powers. Not only have I been able to completely suck all of the electricity out of my own tree, I have managed to start impacting one of my father's Christmas trees.
While my Dad often faces Christmas light challenges with the outdoor lights (which has led us to just always refer to them as "those damn icicle lights"), he generally does not have problems with the indoor lights. That is until I came along.
We had the tree on yesterday, and it was doing just fine. We were headed out to dinner, so I went into the living room to turn off the tree--only to find that the top half of it was not lit. Sigh. A sense of familiarity washed over me. Really? Again? Ug.
I will not do a moment by moment account, but getting the tree re-lit involved a search through the tree for the set that went bad, the addition of an extension cord, a trip to Walmart (the Evil Empire) for more lights, removal of select ornaments, reconnection of sets that already worked and the addition of a new set to a fully decorated tree with a fully decorated village below it (and I am talking a major metropoliatan area of a village at that) ending in the re-addition of the previously removed ornaments.
I have a friend who always has issues with phones, and I joke that it is because she has some electromagnetic force that causes reception issues. No joke, I now think that I have some kind of electromagnetic force that is messing with the Christmas lights. Really, why can't I have the power to become invisible or walk through walls instead.
Still, the tree is relit, and we are hoping for the best. Now I just have to help my dad to work on those damn icicle lights that went out on the front of the house.
