What happens to the Christmas Lights??

Every year we put them away and they are working.
We get them down, as we did today, and they are not working.

Better than that, we went to the store where we bought them, and they dont keep spare bulbs.
You have to call a number?????

So is there a loft gremlin?
Is it just us? What goes on between January 6 and December 4???

Aarrrgh .... I know !!!!!

This happens every year and usually I only realize it when all the lights are on the tree. Duhhhh!!!!

P.

The missing bulbs took a vacation, and they decided to ask for permanent asylum in warmer climate! lolol

They go to the place the missing socks go to. I think they are all partying and laughing at the dumb humans tearing apart the house, including the laundry room, to find them.

My sister started throwing her lights out every year after Christmas and buying new ones for the following year when they were marked way down. She said it was a small price to pay for less stress. I agree, but I'm kind of cheap and still keep them although I do buy them on sale for backups if the old ones aren't working. I test the old ones very good before putting them on the tree also. Nothing worse than getting the whole tree decorated and a sting of lights isn't working.
