we ran an extension lead through the window that plugged into the same point as the tree. we attached a powerboard off that and each of the lights plugged into that. we were able to attached all the leads to the house so that things weren't getting tangled

we inherited four sets (i think) of rope lights from my folks and had a couple ourselves. we also have three sets of icicle lights. ummmm, we have a santa we put up on the antenna (looks like he is climbing a rope), a huge star, and a plane that carries a Merry Christmas sign. we have LED light balls (seven i think - a couple were damaged on arrival so they sent replacements but i was able to fix them - yay!) but didn't use them last year - i think that is outside done


inside we have two short light sets that E chose last year - one is fibre optic, one is LED "sticks". we then have 30m (ish) of normal fairy lights that we hang in the lounge, and 60m of LED lights that go on the tree.

and that's just the lights... lots of other decos too! we're a little christmas nuts...
