I usually serve kielbasa or beef smoked sausage with them, and real maple syrup.  Makes for a YUMMY breakfast, lunch, or supper.
 
Hans,

Are the C6 size Christmas light bulbs the most common size?  Recently, at an estate sale, I picked up a star made out of plywood painted silver for $1.  It is fitted with white bulbs on the outer points, and blue bulbs further in where the ends of the points meet.  Then it's trimmed all the way around in silver garland.  It is a GE light set with red & green twisted wire on the back side.  The paint on the bulbs is cracked and starting to flake off. 
 
No...

c-7 is the most common, C-6 are smaller, and if one burns out the whole string goes out, c-7 bulbs are a little larger, and arewired so that if one burns out the rest stay lit, most of the really old lights are c-6.
 
Hans to the rescue again!  Yep, when 1 goes out, the rest stay lit.  I don't have to replace the bulbs, but will keep my eyes open at any upcoming estate sales.  I'll replace them only if I can find replacements on the cheap.  The star will be hung on the inside, facing the street, so the flaking bulbs shouldn't be too noticeable.

 

The helpfulness on this site is unbelievable.  Thanks again!
