There’s nobody to give me presents anymore. I don’t have a family left to celebrate the holiday with, no friends either. I barely decorate.

But there’s still one thing from my childhood I still try to honor and that’s having a stocking of candy. If not, small gifts.

    Day off to get high and not believe in Jesus.

    Also Christmas tree and lights. Though the LED ones have ruined it for me, I can see the half wave rectified 60hz and it gives me a headache. That pisses me off so much because I was once super excited about LED Christmas lights consuming a fraction of the energy, but every company seems to think they can get away with literally just replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs without the proper circuitry to drive them which would have cost, what? A dollar more? Hell a full bridge rectifier probably costs literally a penny when bought in bulk and though it’s still not a “proper” LED driver, it would have doubled the frequency and most people wouldn’t see it anymore.

    Does anyone know any Christmas lights with a proper power supply that drives them at low voltage DC? I imagine it would be a lot safer too wrapped around a flammable plastic tree.
