For many of us, these glass, colorful light bulbs were the norm for us growing up in the eighties and nineties. My father was particularly paranoid about fires and was always turning off the tree lights, causing my mother, siblings and I to groan at not being able to enjoy them. These lights were indeed problematic, the did get hot, they often they did not screw in right and sometimes broke in your hands as you tried to screw them in.
I purchased some lights earlier in the month, LED mini lights from Wal-Mart. I hate them! They color is not bright, the lights have almost have no.... personality!
Thanks to Frisky Frolic for these retro bulb images! Check out more on his site HERE:

I have to agree with you the LTD lights are boring, and the mini-lights are not much better. I love the old bulbs, bigger and brighter for sure. And add a collection of sexy studs like in these pics, and I could have one very Merry Christmas.
Thanks for sharing

As a kid I used to hate those big bulb lights. Now as an adult I can appreciate the beauty of them. Now I just hate the light strands that turn off and on for 3-5 seconds. I just never understood why anyone would like that. It's as if you glanced over at the house at the wrong time it would like there were no lights on the house or tree.
