I really like the font the 'Merry Christmas' is in!

Ha, beautiful.

I would love to find something we had when I was a kid, thirty years ago at least. A string of lights that were 3" globes, treated to look like crushed ice or snowballs, in different colors.

I think I remember those.

Like these?

Jumping catfish - that's it!!!

Looking at different auctions, I see lots of lights, but no one seems to have a cord...

But, thank you very much indeed!

My family had those "snowball" lights when I was a kid. My sister was a baby then, and these lights were advertised to stay cool to the touch.

Looks very vintage and subdued compared to current craze of blinking and flashing and led lights in plastic tubes... So nice! Don't about how safe the outside lighting was then, though.

That reminds me, the school near me has a greeting on their sign. Know what it says? "Happy festive season"

Festive.

Season.
