Merry Happy! I posted a few days ago asking for help with a prelit tree that had entire portions not lighting up, or flickering like crazy. It was a crack tree situation and I could not find anything helpful on my own and you wonderful people came together and saved Christmas/ yamainwitch-mas. I was literally ready to just throw it out and have a festivus pole. You guys are the absolute best. A thousand thank yous! Sorry I don't have a crack tree before picture for you, I was too embarrassed lol. Lemmy is the best 🤩✨

Edit: here's the link to the og post for those who did not see my desperate plea for help lol https://lemmy.world/post/8889123.

Imma ride this high through the New Year! Special thanks to die444die! You literally walked me through how to do this, there's no way I could have done it with out you 🤩🤗 and Aevironis you helped me source the perfect lights which made the swap ✨flawless✨. Ahhh I'm just over the moon happy right now 🥰💖🥳

Although I had no part in this, on behalf of all Lemmings, I accept your thanks and wish you a very happy holiday.

Btw, a festivus pole still doesn't sound like a bad idea. A festivus for the rest of us; it's a noble pursuit

❤️✨ and now for the airing of grievances!!

Glad you got it working; but damn, you just buried the whole tree. Never seen that much decoration on a tree outside of movies.

Yeah don’t be surprised if you find an old family member under all of that after Christmas.

LOL one of the cats would find them first 😂

When the chimney sweep came to fix the fireplace he said my house looked like a beer commercial, it's the highest praise. I'm a little extra with the holiday ✨ magic ✨

Looks beautiful! I missed whatever happened prior, but you've got a mighty fine looking decoration now!

[–] Yamainwitch@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you so much! ❤️🙏

Thank you so much, I updated the post to include a link to the original desperate begging and add special thanks. I'm just so happy I couldn't wait to update you guys. 💖✨

Happy for you ... didn't have a part in it, I was just happy to see some good news in a world full of despair. Great looking tree!

[–] ef9357@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 11 months ago

Too late to help, but beautiful tree!

[–] Extrasvhx9he@lemmy.today 4 points 11 months ago

Damn fine looking tree

I can see a squirrel peaking out and hear Snot humping in the background! Beautiful!
