maybe paint some PVC pipe and put some limbs in to look like a weird palm tree.... dress a doll in the limbs and maybe some wings from the limbs and you have a forest fairy... geeme

Hello all, I have just set my pre-lit up. Bought 2 years ago at Lowes, 7 feet (I think), beautiful fluffy tips, they really have a nice selection there. Not cheap, but mine was the last one of that kind and they gave me 50% off. PLUS the added advantage of not having to set it up that first time. So now my problem... the tree comes in 3 parts -> all the power sources (extension plugs) are on the middle part. The top part had one male plug dangling, so that was easily plugged in, and it's working. But the bottom part has 3 plugs. 2 are the male/female connect-thru plugs, the kind to piggy-back. I plugged them in and those 2 strands work. But the one remaining plug is a female end-plug. Where am I supposed to plug that to? Makes me wonder if there is a male plug out there somewhere with power on it, which is impossible. I must be missing something, but can't figure out what. Suggestions, anyone? I'm baffled.

B, did you find your tree? The website where I bought mine had sold out of the white lit tree, but I remember when I used to have white lights on my green tree, in the daytime when I turned it on, I couldn't really see the lights because of the sunlight. I'm hoping with the multi-colored lights it will make the tree colorful in the daytime. Which reminds me, a few years ago I bought the "retro" big lights for our tree, they were just gorgeous, but they got so hot! Neesie, yes they do fold easily! No more of sticking the branches in the little holes! lol

In my perfect house I would have a trap door that the tree simply drops into after the season is over. Then it would have a magical hydraulic lift that brings it back out each year . . . fully decorated. But, since I live in the real world and have two full sized artificial trees, mine are under the steps in our basement. It works, but uses a lot of good storage space. We tried to put them in our garage up in the rafters, but after trying to slide them in at every angle while balancing precariously upon a ladder, we realized the rafters are spaced too close to fit them through in boxes and leaving them unboxed is just too good of a home for possible future rodents.
