When growing up, my mother was a light perfectionist. She didn't however put lights on herself. She gave us all instruction. Because of that experience, I became a light nazi too.....BUT I knew how to do it and that was before "icicle" lights. You methoed hits the nail on the head......Merry Christmas
Lovely video! The second method looks good! I'm not sure I'd have the patience to arrange each tentacle precisely though; I'm a bit of a light perfectionist. Also I have pets who sometimes get close enough to the tree where they might knock off the tentacles over and over. I did LOL when you tossed the lights on the first tree, ala the original method. If the lights are just randomly tossed on and you don't bother with placing correctly then yes, it will look like that :) That's how the hubby used to do it til I finally said 'enough - you are banished from light duty forevermore!' 😅
I've always started from the top, never thought about starting from the bottom. Does it make a difference? Thank you for the "tentacle method" I will definitely be adopting this🌲
That’s funny, I never thought to start at the top! think I start at the bottom because I’m short and can’t reach at the top so I’d rather do that part last when I have a smaller bunch of unused lights in my hand 😅
Here's the link to exact ones I bought, the brand is called ansio. amzn.to/40Mq9Gx it does look like there are a lot of similar ones on amazon, just make sure you get them with green wire!! :)
I wish I got this video before I bought 20 boxes of lights. My big tree swallows lights so I have to put double the strands. This might would work next year.
I am never going back to the old way! I am so happy to have finally achieved perfect lights. Here's the exact lights I used: geni.us/HAtrNHU

I have a feeling I will be passing on a similar experience to my children 😅 once you’ve achieved perfection it’s hard to accept anything less 🙌🏼💕🎄

Ok. Now im buying the tentacle type of xmas light.
It will change your life! I’m never going back!
I can't find your exact lights...what is the brand... The link just takes you to the light section on Amazon, not the specific lights.

They only sell it in the uk

Oh that’s such a shame! On the plus side you can probably buy some on sale in January and be all set for next year! 👏🏼
Genius!
