Just in case I loved it so much once wasn't enough

The day after Thanksgiving, we put up our Christmas trees.  We have a decent sized tree that goes in our living room, and then we have a smaller tree that goes in our family room.  It was tougher to find a place to put the tree since we've rearranged the room, but I was insistent that we have a tree since this is where we spend the majority of our time.  I am the person who puts all the lights on the tree.  It is definitely not my favorite thing, but I want it to look nice.

About a week ago, I was sitting on the couch in our family room, and I saw some lights on the tree flicker, and then the strand went out.  And of course, not the strand on top, not the strand on the bottom, but the MIDDLE strand on the tree.  Ugh.  I put it off for a week, but today I decided I couldn't take it any more.  I had to undecorate the middle of the tree, and then try to get the lights "fit" between the two strands.  It doesn't look as nice as I think it looked before, but it's done.  Ah the joys...just in case put the lights on was so much fun that once was enough, I got to do it again!
