:thumbsup: It just isn't Christmas without the lights, and the Dropkick Murphy's holiday song, "The Season's Upon Us"

https://youtu.be/qTx-sdR6Yzk
"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." -Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus

Murphy was an optimist.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an
invasion, butcher a hog, design a building, conn a ship, write a
sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the
dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects - Robert A. Heinlien

The lights have become as much a part of my holiday as the smell of fresh cut cedar. I just had my wife turn down Perry Mason on TV to welcome her to the holiday season. I got the same eye-roll that I have gotten for over a decade. Thanks D!

Well, I will see what is available.

To those experiencing sound issues (no sound of bulbs breaking), the app is getting old and needs to be updated. I hope the author will do this for us.

I went to my user control panel, turned the lights off, and then back on. I got sound then. This might work for others having that problem. YMMV
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It has to do more with the type of Browsers being used. I see Firefox is having problems. so is Chrome off and on. But Edge seems OK.

Hello, Dolk
I love these things... It saves me plenty of money. Well, I do like the sound of ringing steel...better.
I would bet that the viewers counts would be up for this time of year. Video games for us oldfarts, inter active stimulus... I know, I like hitting more topics, just for the play time.... Cheap, date. I am. ;mywink;
