Elderly Couple Has Ingenious Way of Lighting Christmas Tree

Occurred on December 1, 2021 / Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, England, UK

Info from Licensor: "Last week, I was putting up our new artificial 7ft Christmas Tree, and I'd bought 1000 lights to go on it. I tried four times to put them on by myself, and I just kept getting in a right tangle. I tried again the next morning, but the same kept happening, and I felt like crying as I really wanted the tree up in time for my daughter's birthday the following day. So I phoned my in-laws to see if they could help me as they will always help us if they can. All three of us held the lights and went around it to decorate it, but the lights kept getting tangled still so my Father-in-law came up with the idea to wrap them around himself!"
