Mike,

MP>>   The closest thing I have to a Christmas Tree, are 4 old ham radio
MP>> tubes (real glass) that a ham wired small LED lights of different colors
MP>> to, then wired them to a small wall-wart adapter (they rarely get warm).
MP>> When plugged in, the tubes look like they are lit like they were in the
MP>> antique radios!!

MP>That sounds pretty neat!  :)

  You have to be careful with them, though...as if they are knocked
over, the glass tubes WILL BREAK!!

  The nice thing is that the lights aren't distracting, and neither the
wal-wart or LED lights get that warm.

Daryl
