I just hope that the knot holds :xmaseyeroll:

The other thing that I am happy about is that I am not having any sciatic issues so far this year. If I can concentrate and have lots of patience in the coming days I should be able to put a dent in the lights.

Pictures coming shortly ....

I'm excited to see your progress and can't wait to see your tree topper. I bet it looks magnificent :xmashigh5: Very glad to hear that your sciatica is letting you get on with your tree and not causing you too much trouble. Looking forward to pictures very much! :hopxmas:
