Don't buy a pre-lit tree
Dh got me a pre lit tree last year. Today we go to put it up, and none of the light are working ! Do you know what a pain it is to undo the lights then re-string them ??? OMG I am sticking to just the old fashioned trees from now on, cause if one light decided to take a dump, they all do.
BLAH ~

What makes me mad about christmas tree lights is I buy a new set, plug it in before putting it on the tree and they all work. Put it on the tree and they wont work. That really ticks me off. I wonder why they do that.

Thanks for the heads up. I saw them at Kmart and was thinking about getting one. I will stick with my old fashioned one after hearing what happened to you. Sorry that happened. It stinks.

My sister has a prelit and she's had it for I think 4 years and it has worked every year so far. So, they aren't all bad.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

I bought a pre-lit a few years ago at Rite-Aid and a few weeks after I put it up, the top part stopped working. I called the 800# on the box and they sent me a new top. I have had no trouble since. I always put more lights on it, too, though.
This year though, I am waiting on my pre-lit pink tree to come. I cant hardly WAIT!

We've had our for 3 years so far, and before that we had a 7 ft prelight that rotated and never had a problem with it.

sorry to hear about your bad luck with your tree.
I have a pre-lit tree that rotates. I have had it for about 5 years now and I haven't had any problems with it. I bought it at K-mart. It was $179.99 and in my opinion well worth the money.

I have used the same prelit tree for the past 3 years and put it up tonight without any problem. I guess I have been lucky.
Mine has the white prelit lights so I add a string of the multicolor and they are beautiful.Mother to 2, Momma to All, Memaw to 4.
