I like the TX sock monkey.

I love that Texas sock monkey too!

Yeehaw! I bought it at Atwood's farm & ranch supply store. :D *dips snuff*

Purty! I especially like those fat multi-colored lights. That's what I had growing up. Plus, Dad put on reflectors! I don't think you can even buy them anymore. Hard-core old school, just like Christmas should be!

Happily, they do still make the large, fat C7-size lights and strings! I've got several strings of the solid/opaque ones (the ones that look like they've been dipped in paint so you can't see their filaments.) I use them on a tree at my house that displays ornaments from the 1940s and '50s. You could probably find reflectors at websites that sell vintage/reproduction Christmas decorations, or make your own with metallic sheets from a craft store (or hey, heavy duty aluminum foil!) The transparent C7 bulbs in my photos are LEDs, which don't get hot to the touch like the incandescent ones do
