Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for December 10, 2023

’tis the season to be jolly???

Well, after all, the second thing about Christmas that’s such a pain IS rigging up the lights.

Save it for after the lights are untangled and he finds out they don’t work anymore.

We decorate with the small LED lights. I found the best way to store them was to buy a few reels used to coil electrical extension cords and just wind them up at seasons end. No tangles!

Just buy new ones or a pre lit tree. Who needs MORE aggravation this time of year.

How would Alexander the Great solve that problem?

Maybe you’ll be in a better mood for the task after a few eggnogs.

That’s not how blood pressure medication works.

Take a 1 × 6 × 16 piece of wood and cut 45º notches in both ends. Wind the lights around it when packing them away. I have 1 per strand or 2. Saves on BP medication.

She can’t stress enough how important it is.

I’ve noticed some leave the lights up all year and activate them at the Season.

Those wires must be very stiff and potentially easily breakable
