I can't do it. I just can't do it!

I would love candles granjura but DH seems to be a scaredy-Mary. I've told him we had no real disasters when I was little.

Mine is one of those fibre -optic thingys - DH loves it and wouldn't understand if I told him its a bit tacky. when we used to have light (only white ones please) I started at the top so that the star/angle is well lit and then wind downwards in a spiral so that the lead and plug are at the back- this always seems to come out right.

Daughter is having a go now. She is doing no better than me!

Yes, we've got two sets. One set like little drums, and one set with flower "lampshades". I think it complicates things.

Put candles on, like what I do ;)

Lights on first evenly spaced. Turn them on, stand back & with half closed eyes check there are no gaps.

Adjust where necessary and continue with baubles etc.

We have 2 sets, both are the clear sort (i.e not coloured) but they are slightly different and don't look right if we use one at the top and one a the bottom, so Mr P has to sort of mix them. He has the patience of a saint!

We have two sets one does top half, the other the bottom bit. Seem to work well. X

I got mine right, first time

I gave up this year a bought a pre-lit tree!

I find the lights the trickiest bit too jings, that's why I get Mr P to do it!
