When a strand of bulbs would not light,
what a chore it use to be!
Check every one, hope there's no short...
those old-fashioned lights on our tree.
(Poem continues below)

One day we bought a new string of lights,
modern...up to date as could be.
They were "UL Approved" and awesomely bright,
and they burned in-di-vi-du-al-ly!

Yes, three lights bur out and need to be changed...
no so with our family and friends.
Individually you light our tree of life
with memories that never will end!

WE WISH YOU A DELIGHTFUL CHRISTMAS!
