Now our tree will not be decorated this year because on Christmas Day it will be relegated to the trash. It is time to start my 2020 budget with a slot for a new tree. Still, it is dark now, and the tree glows a little and that is enough Christmas magic for one year. Hope your Christmas tree is shining bright! 
This happened to my tree a few years back. We were paying off debt so I didn't want to add an expense. I actually took some strands of lights and draped them around the tree. Since the led lights are wired so closely to the branches when it was decorated you couldn't even tell. And I actually prefer the draped lights look because that's how it looks on a real Christmas tree. Anyways this is your tree and if it glows enough for you to feel the magic of Christmas, that's all that matters.
