Here is my oldest putting the finishing touches to the tree.

 

Click to see full size

 

We have old school twinking lights turned on with the a lenovo smart switch. The command: Activate Christmas.

 

That also turns the lounge lights red and green.

 

 

 

It would be amazing to next level the lighting.

 

 

I Have something similar, if I yell out "Alex its Christmas time" it turns on my TPLink Kasa for the basic tree lights, a set of Twinkkly Lights (that are AWESOME!), turns off my couch and kitchen lights, dims my dinning light to 10%, turns on my Philips Hue lamps in and around the Lounge /Dinning to red and green, then starts playing Snoopys Christmas.  

 

 

 

 

I'm stealing the snoopys christmas idea :)

And I'm playing Savatage's Christmas in Sarajevo as an antidote to all this saccharine excess...

@bartender  oh no! Thank goodness you only need new lights and not a new puppy. 

 

 

There were times when I wanted a new puppy.... And had I known it would have been cheaper to buy a set of lights than the emergency vet bill..... :/

My Twinkly lights arrived today! I also ordered a set of 250 lights for the tree when I found out I had won, so they both arrived today. 

 

Thank you Geekzone and michaelmurfy!

Great tree by the way - very festive!
