When I was a little girl, we lived in the country and had no electricity so we use kerosine lamps and the Christmas tree had little Christmas candles on it that were lit Christmas Eve. The tree was cut by my Dad just a few days before Christmas because it didn't go up until a couple days before Christmas. When we moved to town when I was 5, it was the first time we had a tree with electric lights, even then if one burned out the whole set went out and you had to go through the lights one by one until you could find the one that was burnt out. How time has changed!!!! LOL

And God help you if more than one light was burned out - that used to drive me mental!!
