That will learn you! Christmas lights before December! Come on.

But also, that’s shite. Flowers

Your Christmas tree is up 37 days before Christmas?!

Ah this happened to us one year (in December though Wink), it was a pain in the arse.

I feel your pain. We had a beautiful set of 1000 tiny amber LED lights and one year 'D'P yank them to try and free them from behind a unit and snapped the wire. Completely unfixable. I could never find any the same size of colour :( I hope you can easily replace

Yes it’s up, but I’ve had a tough year and it makes me happy, not hurting anybody else!! There are all manner of reasons of people doing things the way they do.

I have another set, but not the point as you can imagine what it was like getting the damn things on there 😩

Can't you strip the coating off the wires, reattach them and repair the coating with electrical tape? It's really not hard at all.

Oh no OP Sad
That is something I would do

Yes good idea to try and repair them, make sure you unplug them first though 😆
