Icicles on the christmas tree. Love them or hate them?

These ones look nice.



If they really are made of crystal glass that tree would cost more than the entire Christmas.

Those are really cool looking. My grandma has swvarsky (don't know about the spelling) and waterford ornaments. She gets additional ones every year. They are beautiful but they are also ridiculously expensive. I don't see the point to spend that kind of money on something that's only going to be seen once a year. My grandpa broke one last year and my grandma called him a clumsy idiot and that the ornament had cost $80.00. Then he asked what kind of a dumb ass would pay $80.00 for one ornament. Ahhhh family. Lol

Yeah my grandparents had glass ornaments, instead of the plastic ones I grew up with they had this whole collection of stuff in the attic they'd get out every year and everything had to be just right. The whole thing was a big ritual at their place. And we kids were not allowed near the tree or to play with it in their house.

In my parents place I was always playing with the tree. I'd just got Star Wars tapes and was trying to make an Ewok village in it or something.   

No need to buy anything special to try this. Take a sheet of paper and put you fingers on the edge about an inch and a half apart. Pull the paper tight and blow between your fingers.

Works with grass blades too.

I think they look good in moderation. My mom has some that are different colors and look like candy, those are my favorite. She kind of has this Land of Sweets (from the Nutcracker) theme going.

I actually really like the outdoor icicle decorations lights that have the dripping effect to them. I think they're mesmerizing and plan to buy some every year but never do since I have no where to put them right now :r oh well.
