Here is the story of Melissa and the crappy tree. I have been so mad I haven't wanted to even write about it :) But, now that the tree looks so pretty I can share my horror story.
Morgan and I purchased our second tree about three Christmases ago. We found it at Mervyn's the day after Christmas for 50 bucks!! It was regularly $25o. It's 6ft and pre-lit. Well Let me tell you about this tree that has made me HATE it! Last year some strands of lights stopped working. So I replaced several bulbs, and when I say several I mean close to 60 lights! This year when we plugged it in only two strands worked!!!!! I tried everything to get the rest of the strands to work, and NOTHING made them work. So I spent three days cutting the pre-lit lights off and re stringing new ones on. Can you say pain in the butt!! I had scratches up my arms and a sore back from bending and cutting. What makes me mad is that the tree Morgan and I bought when when we got married (Dec 20th 2000) has NEVER had any problems and we only spent 20 bucks on the little thing!
