Anybody doing wild New Year's Eve stuff?

SK and Mik, I like your trees!
Ours is now out for composting. Sorry, no pics. We don’t hang ornaments any more (time intensive), just lights. We also have lights around the front porch.

I love your tree, Jodi, how pretty! Yours too Mik. I like those lights. I'm partial to the incandescents too. This year and last I went with the pre-strung leds on the artificial tree. I may go back to a real tree next year. I also love the large, old fashioned bulbs such as I remember from my earliest years.
I'll keep my tree and most of the decor up until Twelfth Night, which is Tuesday.

Trees haven’t been right since we stopped using tinsel.
Remember tinsel?

@Steve-Miller I do and I loved the look! The lead content wasn't such a good thing, though. Mylar tinsel is available but doesn't have the same look, imo.

Talking of good old fairy light incandescents, I had to replace two bulbs this year. And they just blew again last night.
But I love them so, from around 1956, nursery rhyme bells that my parents had on our tree for years, these:
Here they are on our entrance hall mirror
