We have a lighted tree, but it's awful. It's so old that the stickers to match the plugs together are falling off so there is no easy way to figure out the right way to hook them up. After about an hour of fighting with the tree we gave up and will try again tomorrow. I wonder if it would be easier to get a non-lit tree instead. Right now our tree is half lit and my arms are all scratched up. Ugh.
