How fast do tree lights wear out, anyhow? 

Yesterday, the three strands of tree lights all lit up.

This morning, two lit up in full and one lit up four bulbs.

Now, none of them will light.

The fuses test out fine. I tested 50 bulbs (a single circuit on the strand) even though the set claims to work even if one's burned out. I.... don't know what to make of this, other than possibly the internal wires broke under the incredible stress of being brought out for a second year of service?

I guess the tree waits until Friday...
