   Christmas lights usually have little fuses which makes them pretty much only good for plugging in other Christmas lights.
   You can probably get away with some little stuff but I wouldn't try using Christmas lights as an extension cord for my table saw.

   Ended up spending $130 on 2 50ft strands that use actual screw in lights which are replaceable.
   
   It's awful they even make garbage like that.

   
   The demand for christams lights is likely somewhat inelastic. This means that people are willing to pay a higher price because their demand changes less than with other goods when the price per unit increases. People feel obligated to buy christmas decor, so they are willing to spend a pretty penny on it.

    Only Catholics do that, so they can collect the money as guilt offerings.

    I don't know...there's so much nut-fuckery in that religion going on that she told me about I can't keep track. They're really, really fucking hard-core about their sinning so there has to me some sort of penance they do

    That's part of why they invented it in the pre-middle ages. To keep a sword of democles over their heads when it came time to offer gibs to the church.
