Christmas lights

[bren12]

Shaded christmas lights you know the Pifco ones from the 1970's and 80's tacky or tasteful? Or you prefer shadeless lights?

They're tackily gorgeous..I LOVE the old fashioned kind and have got some from Ebay...they twinkle better!

I can't bear the ones with a bare bulb...not pretty at all.

{waits for someone to suggest "cherry lights"}

Which in my opinion look contrived.

I've still got some working shaded lights from c.1979 . I took them from my Mum's decoration box when I left home. Agree, so much nicer than new style ones. Shame there's only about 12 on the string!
