Christmas tree lights add warmth, intimacy, intensity, drama, and beauty to any decor, holiday, or artistic display. They are analogous to icing on a cake; the cake itself may be delicious, but the frosting, when it is artistically applied, completes the confectionary delight Actually, a plain and uninspired display can be easily changed with the addition of a few, or in some cases, hundreds of tiny, sparkling, and glowing Christmas tree lights.
