Err, uh, I might have left some of those string lights hanging around. And by 'some' I might mean a massive web of hopelessly tangled string lights that form a gloriously festive spider web across the... everywhere.

A Daring Acrobatics - You're feeling rather spry! You try to tumble and dive through the web of lights!
B Chop them down - Who is going to miss a few lines in this mess? You give hacking a way through a go!
C Untangle the mess - What a mess! It needs to be done anyways. You work on untangling the wires in your path.



Well look at you all diving and twisting about in the snow like an over caffeinated ermine! Those blinking tripwires are no match for your mad aerobatic sashay as so many try to wriggle and jiggle through the tangle. Your landing would have been perfect if there weren't a patch of ice right under foot causing you to slide into the next snow bank but your nose landed right on your first giftbox! Lucky you!


The anticipation of goodies galore out there in the snow is too exciting to let it lie! Without hesitation (or critical thinking) you pull out your trusty hedge clippers and snip your way into the problem wires. Not three snips into the snarl of bulbs and cords you encounter a very shocking... shock! With a cartoonish puff of smoke rising off your on-end hair you decide that getting rid of the twitches and sparks will be enough of a gift for right now!


What a mess! Who put up these wires? An amateur weavers club? Tut-tut! You set yourself to methodically mull over the muddled mess with determination and systematic tugs. Where all else fails you even go as far as untwisting a few bulbs to get them loose from the greater gnarl. It certainly took a huge chunk of time out of your day but in the end, with tired fingers and eyes, you managed to drag a giftbox out of the snow while wrapping up that last string of lights.
