The New Christmas Decorations....

I guess I haven't noticed because I haven't bought anything new as of late. Guess is great for those that have kids. I like the old ornaments but then again a lot of mine have the gold string that you use to hang on the tree. I don't replace my lights until one quits working then will buy to replace. I don't know if they have them down here or not. My Step daughter just bought enough ornaments to load her first tree and I don't think they had plastic hooks. I should tell her to start looking for them because her sons are 3 and 2 and lets just say. ummmm they don't keep their hands off. I think some of her ornaments are plastic though.

i think all the bulbs that you hang on the tree should be shatter proof, as I hung them on the tree this year our cat decided to play with them and he has knocked off 2 that has shattered on the carpet and although you clean it up there is always little slivers of glass that remain to get in a little one's foot, and you know no matter how hard to you try to get if all up there is always more. Plastic hooks too instead of the wire ones would be a great help, how many I have stepped on after christmas witht them down in the carpet. And lights that don't get hot, that is great, I didn't buy any new christmas decorations this year so I don't know what is out there but it seems they are getting the idea to get away from glass and hot bulbs and that is good.

I have often thought about how safe the Christmas lights are, I love to see all the houses with their christmas lights at night but i have worried in the past just how safe they are.

I am so glad they are safer because it was always terrible to see the fires from the old ones, and it seemed like every winter there would be so many fires from lights or lights on the trees and they really got too hot and yes its much safer now.....
