[tvguy]

My grandmother used to have something similar to this back in the 70’s/80’s.

I bought my mom a similar lamp as a Christmas gift in the early 1970's when I was in Junior High School. It sat on top of her TV for over 40 years. When she passed away 11 years ago and we were sorting through items in her house and deciding what to keep and what to get rid of, THAT lamp was one of the things my wife said right off the bat that she wanted us to keep. I really hadn't thought about it. So now it is on our TV stand........since you can't put things on top of modern flat screen TVs.

I have a white fiber optic Christmas tree, about 2 feet tall. DH bought it for me the Christmas I had Covid (2021?) and was quarantined to the bedroom for 10 days, so at least I'd have a little bit of Christmas. It was put into use the following year, too, when I fell and damaged my knee so badly I could barely get around, much less haul up and down 16 stairs all day. I might put it up again this year- it is a pretty cheery little thing!

I have a fiber optic tree on my desk at work. I think it is like 2ft or less tall. Everybody compliments it. A few years ago I found it at Walmart the day after Christmas.

I used to have another like 4ft or so tree from Bed Bath and Beyond that was fiber optic that I kept in the bedroom. It was great til the bulbs went out and I was never able to find any more bulbs.
