See what I mean about the one year old... (5 and 7 year old are faster and sneakier so they don't get caught. However, their guilty faces and broken ornaments give them away.)
We have had a pre-lit tree for 7 or 8 years and finally this year some of the lights bit the dust. Portions of the tree would not light up at all. So, I gave my husband the go ahead to put on big colorful retro lights. It really isn't as tacky as it may seem AND most importantly it stopped him from all that talk about cutting out the existing lights, rewiring and blah blah blah. The lights outside and our waving Santa may possibly be as tacky as it sounds.In the midst of our tree-light-debacle, my 7 year old announced to the room "Christmas isn't all about the tree, you know." How right he is.

My big guy decorated the bottom half, too. You can tell. The Lenox and fancy ornaments are all appropriately placed on top, and then all of the kid-friendly, non-breakable ornaments are clumped together on the bottom. At least we thought they were non-breakable. The little one has managed to break two and counting.
