I've looked at those for the outside of the house, but never thought about putting them on the tree.  The houses that use those on the outside have a "glow" about them.  It looks great outside, but you are right, I feel it may be overpowering indoors.

I like your 2008 tree.   :cheersmate:

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Beautiful trees!   I am with you on the LED's.  Bought some last year, and they certainly do shine brightly. 
R.I.P. LC and Crockspot.  Miss you guys.
