This past week I've been very proactive. I set up the Christmas tree and adorned it with lots of ornaments, cleaned the living room and set up some Christmas decorations, set up the Christmas lights outside, and bought lots of little presents.

I also bought another tree, but all the lights were burned out! So, I had to meticulously go through and pull all 200 bulbs. Then, I needed bulbs to replace them so I bought a donor set of lights, pulled all of those bulbs, and then swapped the holders that were on the donor set for the type that the Christmas tree uses. Finding hidden little bulbs was really annoying so I ended up pulling all the strands off the tree and then got to try my hand at lighting a tree. I think I did pretty well. As a nod to the original warm lighting, I left a single bulb among the new colored ones after noticing a single orange bulb was completely dark.
