Just hanging around the christmas tree:
Krampus just showed up last night. He’s so awesome, can’t beat that with a stick!
I thrifted two old light strands with a total of twenty of these frosted, plastic pinecones. I learned from last year’s poinsettia experience that these light reflectors are rare finds.
I discarded the light strands and slipped these over color-changing LEDs on the big tree and, wow-oh-wow, do they ever amplify light!
