Found a blog where yet another person expressed astonishment at finding out the "12 Days of Christmas" were the twelve days after Christmas. I still blame this on advertisers, who use "the 12 Days of Christmas" as a last-minute sales pitch!
Anyway, from that blog I discovered this: The Antique Christmas Lights Site. Fascinating stuff, and even found a picture of how the bulbs in our old eight-bulb candoliers used to look! (There were others of the same size that had ridges on them, as if they were twisted, but Woolworth's didn't carry those.) I remember our candoliers still worked when we finally bought new ones, we just couldn't find the smaller sized bulbs (C-6?) anymore.
