I just got a new tree yesterday, got tired of the cost, mess and hassle of a "real" tree. This year I am trying to be a bit more ecologically "green", so I did the artificial thing. Got it pre-lit, and my GF is gonna decorate it.... it helps that she is a floral designer.

I got a 30 foot tree in the front yard that I am gonna light this year.... I figure 2 cases of 100 light strings, and rent a man-lift for a day, will do the job.
