Perhaps they take exception to being put away before the traditional Twelfth
Night?

A very happy new year to all.

Having finally persuaded the shopper to buy LED chains rather than those
nice warm glow filaments, I am confident that an application of

A very happy new year to all.

For the same reason that when you get them out again next year, the lights
won't be working...

I'm glad that's an experience of the past, thanks to LED lights and parallel strings.
