I miss incandescent Christmas lights from the 70s.

the colors they had were warm and magical.

you could go down the street at night and the whole neighborhood was filled with this technicolor dream rainbow that you just can't make anymore.

    sorry, not inconsequential. those lights were objectively better and made countless people's lives better than the LED shit, whether or not they even realized it.

    the change to LED has been a real loss with consequences

    I used to love turning off the living room lights, getting under our Xmas tree, looking up, and watching the lights blink. It was silent and peaceful, almost like watching the twinkle of stars in the night sky.
