If you are looking to invest in traditional neon lights, then you should go through this blog first. We have an alternative that is flexible, bright, and especially meant for festive decoration. After a long and complete research of led neon lights Sir Illusion’s Neon lights were designed and manufactured from its very base in Zhongshan, China. We present to you one of the most in-demand, safe, low voltage and having a lineally long life “LED neon flex” lightings for all your festivities and celebrations. Christmas is almost here and we know how it feels when the lights that you have invested your pockets out are simply not working. Imagine the frustration of going through it amidst the Christmas. 

Decorative neon light for Christmas is available for decorating your roof tops, gardens, porches, and front yards. We would like to highlight 5 main benefits of led neon Christmas lights though there are many more.

1. Light weight designs: Neon lights are thick and heavy. They also require extra space for their glass enclosure that holds the neon gas, thus making it bulky. On the other hand LED lights do not need tubes or enclosures to hold anything. They are much thinner in size and not all heavy. We have come up with a combination of both so that you get the best out of the both. You can enjoy decorative that are not only bold and bright but also light in weight so that you don’t worry about how to lift it up and install it on your roof top.

2. Brilliant Color & Powerful Brightness: Before LED was even born there were huge neon lightings that were used widely. Neon was very famous for its vibrant glow of variable colors. This could only be achieved through its built that consists of addition of other gasses into the tubes to bring out various colors. Our LED neon flex could even be seen in full daylight. But pure neon will blend with sunlight in daytime. 

3. Longer life: Replacing a part or purchasing every time after investing so much is a time consuming process that will not only cost you a lot but will also tire you out. Our outdoor neon Christmas lights will have a longer lifespan compared to neon and fluorescent lights available in markets. They also don’t pose the risk of gas leakage that avoids a lot of trouble. 

4. Energy Saving Lighting: Our led neon Christmas lights requires less energy to maintain a bright glow and a clear image. They also emit very little heat and are considered green for the environment. 

5. Bigger than the usual Christmas lights: While the lights available in markets are smaller in size and have a much smaller life, Sir Illusion’s decorative neon light for Christmas are bigger and serves its actual purpose.

➣ A/N: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

———————————————

You basked in the peace of the gazebo, enjoying one last moment of solitude in the winter wonderland. The snow-peaked mountains served as a tranquil backdrop, and you felt a twinge of sorrow at the thought of leaving this beautiful setting behind. As you took in the breathtaking scenery, you felt the weight of your imminent departure, yet a fond nostalgia for happy memories lingered just beneath the surface.

The past month had been like a dream. From visiting the market with Asmo to watching him befriend Mary, going tree hunting with Beel, sweater shopping with Levi, decorating with Belphie, exploring the woods and cave with Mammon, temporarily brokering a ceasefire between Lucifer and Satan, aurora gazing with Solomon, ice skating with Diavolo, and cooking with Barbatos - you would never forget these memories. You knew you would spend time with them in Devildom, yet you found yourself craving more time with them here.

As the wind picked up, you decided to return to the cabin but paused to admire Mammon and Solomon's outdoor decorations. Golden letters glowed radiantly, spelling out 'Merry Christmas,' and a large white stag stood proudly in the front yard. A pine wreath with a crimson bow and a garland with pine cones, berries, and LED lights adorned the door and the doorframe. Matching garlands were perched on the railing of the second-floor balcony. Blue LED string lights hung on the edges of the roof and the area under the circular balcony. As you admired the decorations, you felt a wave of warmth washing over you.

Walking into the cabin, you reveled in the festive atmosphere created by Diavolo, Belphie, and Satan's endeavors. The interior was brimming with glittering garlands of pinecones and holly, festive silver and gold tinsel strung along the walls, and a glimmering Christmas tree with silver and gold ornaments and garlands, red bows, and colorful string lights. As you surveyed the Christmas tree, you noticed that the star on top was slightly crooked. You recalled how you had grown a bit afraid while climbing the ladder to place the star upright. However, the somewhat crooked star had added extra charm and character to the already beautiful tree.

Your eyes fell on the mistletoe, which you suspected Asmo had hung up, and a playful grin tugged on the corners of your lips. Walking beneath it, you waited for the perfect opportunity to surprise your favorite demon/human. As soon as he grew near, you beckoned him to come over and pointed upwards to the branches tied together with a scarlet ribbon. You flashed them a coy smirk, anticipating their reaction and subsequent move.

Lucifer:

Lucifer smirked at you, and without warning, he placed his hand on the back of your head, pulling you towards him for a fiery kiss. Your lips met in a heated embrace, melting into one kiss after another. He took your lips until you could hardly breathe, and all thoughts escaped your mind save for his warmth and passion.

Mammon:

Mammon blushed, but in a bold move, you pulled him close by his coat's flaps and firmly pressed your lips against his. The demon was initially stunned but quickly returned your kiss, clinging to you while he took your lips with renewed fervor. He continued kissing until you felt lightheaded and out of breath.

Levi:

Levi's eyes widened, and his cheeks turned a bright shade of red. You waited patiently for him to take the initiative and even closed your eyes to help ease his hesitation. After a short while, Levi leaned closer, placing a single soft kiss on your lips.

Satan:

Despite his cheeks turning red, Satan was not opposed to the idea of kissing you under a mistletoe. Keeping his gaze on yours, he softly captured your lips in a sweet, lingering embrace. His kiss was full of delicate tenderness and lasted longer than you anticipated.

Asmo:

Asmo flashed a mischievous grin and gleefully proclaimed that he had hung up the mistletoe in hopes of this very moment. He drew you into a tight embrace and kissed your lips passionately. You eagerly reciprocated the kiss, holding onto him firmly without the hint of letting go anytime soon.

Beel:

Beel chuckled and leaned in closer to your face, but the smell of chocolate from your snack earlier caught his attention. He repeatedly began pecking your lips and stated that the aroma of the chocolate was tantalizing and making him hungry, eliciting a laugh from you.

Belphie:

Belphie gave you a small chuckle and gently cupped your face, drawing you closer before swiftly capturing your lips in a deep kiss that made you gasp. He held onto you tightly, kissing you passionately but with a hint of restraint. The kiss continued for some time until Belphie began to feel drained.

Diavolo:

As the prince spotted the mistletoe, he knew exactly what it meant, thanks to Asmo's explanation. The thought of fulfilling one of his wishes had made him extremely happy, and he hurriedly brought his face close to yours. You braced for a deep kiss, but Diavolo surprised you by kissing your lips softly and sweetly. 

Barbatos:

Barbatos gave you a playful smile and grasped your chin, bringing his face closer to yours. A slow, tender kiss was exchanged between you, initially gentle but growing increasingly intimate with each passing moment. 

Solomon:

Solomon laughed and wrapped his arm around your waist, pulling you close. He then pressed his lips firmly against yours, using plenty of tongue in the kiss to ensure your mind melted and your senses were sent into overdrive.

Barbatos positioned the final dish onto the dining table while you placed the last utensil. Taking a step back, you couldn't help but admire the fragrance of all the dishes, which melded together in a pleasant aroma that was simultaneously sweet yet savory, filling the air with the promise of a flavorful feast. The dishes ranged from roasted turkey, glazed ham, roast potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, salads, pretzels, pies, cakes, fudge, candy canes, gingerbread men, and much more.

As the aroma from the dishes filled the air, the others slowly made their way down from their rooms and gathered around the table, staring with wide eyes. Everyone began to shower Barbatos with compliments, but the noise of their voices and praise drowned out any individuality to their words. Out of your peripheral vision, you saw Beel desperately fighting against Lucifer and Diavolo as they tried to prevent him from pouncing on the dining table.

Asmo took his time taking pictures of the dining table, making everyone wait to eat. Fortunately, it didn't take him too long, allowing all of you to settle down and enjoy the meal. You focused primarily on your meal, diving into the deliciously sweet and savory dishes. The small conversation around the table was a pleasant change from the usual loud and chaotic chatter, and everyone appeared to be in a delightful mood as they delved into the bountiful assortment of delectable dishes.

Midway through the meal, you felt eyes on you, prompting you to glance up. To your surprise, you saw Lucifer and Diavolostaring at you with smiles. Lucifer's gaze bore gratitude for bringing them together and helping to create a pleasant atmosphere, while Diavolo's gaze twinkled with joy and happiness. Towards the end of the dinner, everyone reached a state of fullness except Beel, who clearly showed no signs of halting until he had finished every last crumb.

Asmo suddenly gasped as a realization dawned on him. "We forgot to wear the sweaters that (y/n) and Levi brought! I want to take pictures, so can everyone please change?"

Despite some protests against moving after consuming such a heavy meal, everyone went to their respective rooms to get changed. To their surprise, their sweaters were laid neatly on their beds, but none of them took a moment to evaluate the situation as they assumed you were kind enough to bring their respective sweater to their rooms.

Even though the design was a little gaudy for Asmo's taste, he had to admit that the word swapping was fun, allowing him to switch between "nice" and "naughty," depending on his mood. Belphie laughed at the sight of the sweater, which he felt was quite fitting for him with the emphasis on sloth. Beel loved the pizza Christmas tree and was tempted to eat it, and he would have had his twin not stopped him. Lucifer was not amused by his rather gaudy sweater or the fact that Satan compared him to The Grinch. On the other hand, Satan was quite fond of his sweater since it sported a cat. The Avatar of Wrath thought the grumpy cat also resembled Lucifer, which made his older brother glare at him.

After Barbatos explained the meaning behind his sweater to Diavolo, the prince found it absolutely endearing that the T-Rex could not reach the presents at its feet. He also felt bad for this dinosaur and wished he could somehow help the poor creature. On the other hand, the butler smirked when he saw his own sweater. In contrast, the butler smirked when he saw his own sweater, knowing that he could undoubtedly get you or anyone else on the naughty list. 

Mammon found his sweater hilarious and laughed because he knew in a matter of a few minutes, he would no longer be innocent and would be found guilty. Solomon looked questioning at Mammon, wondering why the second brother was laughing to himself. Was his Christmas sweater really that funny? The sorcerer examined his own sweater and chuckled - truer words had never been spoken. He preferred to stay on the naughty list and loved every minute of it.

After getting ready, you went into your bathroom to brush your hair and touch up your makeup. As you brushed your hair, you noticed unfamiliar packets dumped in the trash bin. You didn't remember using any product with a black and blue exterior. Examining the packets, you recognized them as the very same items that Mammon had hidden from you days prior. There was no logical reason for them to be there, so why had the second brother tossed them in your trash bin?

Upon closer inspection, you realized that he had attempted to hide them underneath the trash overhead, but they had been inadvertently exposed due to the movement of the trash above. Curiously picking up one of the packets, you noticed what the letters said and quickly ran out of your bathroom, down the hall, and downstairs. But you are too late.

You noticed Mammon in a corner by the fireplace, laughing heartily. Rapidly surveying the room, you saw Lucifer leaning against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed and eyes closed, seemingly unaffected by the situation. However, his eyebrows and the corners of his lips kept twitching, indicating that he was irritated. Still, his pride refused to allow him to openly display his emotions despite his annoyance.

Then, you saw Levi standing in front of the sofas, desperately attempting to reach his back with a perplexed expression. In contrast, Satan seemed to be taking advantage of the corner created by two walls intersecting, rubbing himself against it to scratch his back. Asmo stood near Solomon, panicking and fearing that his flawless skin would be contaminated by the unpleasant sensations he was experiencing. On the other hand, Solomon remained calm and unbothered, using a back scratcher to reach the unreachable places as he listened to Asmo's complaints.

Barbatos stood by Lucifer with his usual joyless smile, seemingly unaffected by the irritation. It was as if he had predicted what would happen and had prepared himself for it ahead of time. In front of him stood Diavolo, who requested the butler's assistance to help scratch his back. Beel remained seated at the dining table, unwilling to give up his meal. He continued enjoying his dinner with one hand while the other scratched Belphie's back. However, the Avatar of Gluttony rubbed his back against the backrest of his chair, hoping to quell the itch bugging him.

You shot a glare at Mammon, who was too occupied with enjoying the chaos and the suffering of the others to pay you any mind. With a look of determination, you ran up to Mammon, grabbed the collar of his sweater, and dumped the remainder of the itching powder into the back of his apparel. The Avatar of Greed yelped, and in moments, he began rolling around on the ground to relieve the itching sensation that now plagued him.

After an hour, everyone gathered back in the living room, annoyed by Mammon's prank to put itching powder in their Christmas sweaters. You stood by the windows and observed the changing weather outside as the snow flurries danced to the rhythm of the wind. Why was the weather taking a turn for the worse? Pushing the thought aside, you turned around to see myriad glares directed at Mammon.

The Avatar of Greed shrugged his shoulders and nonchalantly said, "It ain't a party without someone causin' chaos. That's what the demon brothers are known for, y'know."

The room was filled with an eerie silence after Mammom's comment until Diavolo broke into laughter. He found some truth in the Avatar of Greed's words and agreed. The demon brothers were well-known for their chaotic tendencies, so the inclusion of a 'chaotic touch' was bound to add some entertainment. As the prince laughed, the other demon brothers exchanged confused gazes, yet none said a word, still irritated about experiencing the uncontrollable itching that Mammon had bestowed upon them.

However, Diavolo spoke up in the Avatar of Greed's defense, proclaiming, "It is Christmas today, so forgive Mammon for his doing. It was harmless fun."

Though the other brothers disagreed with the prince's words, they reluctantly decided to let the incident slide, but only for the sake of maintaining peace on Christmas.

"Ah, speaking of Christmas. (Y/n), would you mind explaining to everyone what Christmas is all about?" Solomon said out of the blue. The glint of mischief in his eyes brewed a bad feeling in the pits of your stomach, but against your judgment, you ignored it. What harm could come from explaining to the demons what Christmas was all about? At least, that was what you thought until you began to explain.

"It is a celebration of the birth of-" Your explanation came to a screeching halt when a shocking revelation left you dumbfounded and speechless. Everyone watched in curiosity as the color began to slowly drain from your face.

"Ah, allow me to finish (y/n)'s sentence," Solomon flashed an impish smile. "Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, meaning you demons celebrated a holiday related to the son of God."

The entire room went silent. All you saw were open mouths, wide eyes, and pale faces. How had you forgotten the most crucial detail about Christmas?

Get Creative: Don’t be afraid to add a personal touch! Incorporate garlands, wreaths, or other festive decorations to complement your lighting. A little creativity can make your display truly unique.

[trilliansthoughts]

Yule

December 21st marks both the Winter Solstice and the beginning of Yule, a winter festival historically celebrated by Germanic and Scandinavian people with roots in both Norse and Celtic cultures.  The word Yule is thought to derive from Jól or Jólnir, Old Norse names for the god Odin who led the Wild Hunt for the Yule boar. At mid-winter, Norsemen lit bonfires, told stories, and drank sweet ale. Yuletide festivities took place over three days and involved feasting, drinking to excess, and singing with good cheer. During Yuletide, no work was done, and quarrels or fights were set aside.

Ancient people were hunters and spent most of their time outdoors, so the marking of the changing seasons was of particular importance. In ancient Rome, the festival of Saturnalia ran for seven days from the 17th of December to celebrate the rebirth of the year. It was a time when the ordinary rules of society were reversed. Men dressed as women and masters dressed as servants. The festival involved decorating houses with greenery, lighting candles, holding processions, and giving presents.

The Winter Solstice falls on December 21st, the shortest day and longest night of the year, and was celebrated in Pagan cultures long before the arrival of Christianity. Yule depicts several Pagan beliefs, including the Holly King handing over power to the Oak King, ushering in a new season of light. The Druids (Celtic priests) cut the mistletoe that grew on the oak tree and gave it as a blessing. Oaks were seen as sacred, and the winter fruit of the mistletoe was a symbol of life in the dark winter months. 

The 12 days between the Winter Solstice and the beginning of the next solar year were considered a sacred period, belonging neither to the old year nor the new year. These are the days of least sunlight and the Celts believed that the sun stood still for 12 days, so they lit fires to conquer the darkness, banish evil spirits, and bring luck for the coming year. The Druids are believed to have created the tradition of the yule log, the bough of a large tree that was kept burning continuously for the 12 days between the solstice and the start of the solar year. 

Remnants of the previous year’s log were used to start the first fire of the new year to ensure continuity of good luck from year to year, from family to family, and from generation to generation.  Gradually, the original Yuletide celebrations of three days were extended to span a full 12 days and nights, blending several other traditions, and immortalized by Shakespeare in Twelfth Night. Festivities were associated with Wassailing, the wishing of good health in song, and the drinking of wassail, a warm alcoholic drink, which have become the Christmas traditions of carol-singing and the drinking of mulled wine punch.

In Wicca and other Neopagan traditions, Yule is celebrated at the Winter Solstice as the rebirth of the Great horned hunter god who is viewed as the newborn solstice sun. Stonehenge in England and Newgrange in Ireland are Neolithic structures associated with the solstices. Every year, a lucky few win the annual lottery to enter Newgrange on December 21st and witness the solstice sunrise flooding the inner chamber, a testament to the astronomical accuracy of our Neolithic ancestors.

The early Christian church chose to mark the birth of Jesus to coincide with Yule celebrations that traditionally occurred in midwinter including feasting, drinking, and animal sacrifice. The traditions of the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar (still reflected in the Christmas ham), and Yule singing have connections to pre-Christian Yule customs, which indicates the significance of the feast in pre-Christian times as the customs of Yule predate Christianity by thousands of years. Many of these customs are still followed today and incorporated into both Christian and secular Christmas celebrations, which traditionally span 12 days. Happy Yule, everyone!

things just feel so heavy right now. i’m struggling to get any work done. however, i’m great at masking so it appears as though i’m doing well even though i’m struggling to do even the bare minimum. the restaurant has been absolutely awful. i have not been able to get through my shifts without actually crying the last two weeks. people have been increasingly rude and confrontational. i’m tired all the time. i pretty much spent the entire weekend laying or sleeping. i know i need to reach back out to my therapist but it’s been a few months since i’ve seen her and the idea of reaching out is giving me a lot of anxiety. and i know i would feel better getting back into it! being extremely self aware but also extremely mentally ill is so fucking exhausting.

my grandmother is still hanging on. hospice is giving her morphine every few hours to keep her comfortable. i miss her so fucking much and i just want her to be at peace. she was a professional astrologer at one point and i while i’ve always been interested in astrology, i’ve been getting much deeper into it. i wish i could talk to her about it. my gram was always so full of life. she was eccentric and funny and kind. she lived such an interesting and full life. we met when i was five and she was always so welcoming to me and my mom. she paid for our family vacations to maine when we were dirt poor. i felt both her presence and my uncle’s everywhere when we went last month.

my mom is having surgery in a week. she’s decided to get a full mastectomy and will then need multiple reconstruction surgeries over the next year or two. once this surgery is over they can determine if any further treatments are necessary beyond regular follow ups. she’s really struggling, obviously, and the timing of all of this just fucking sucks.

it was also my uncle’s birthday this week. he passed away about a year and a half ago and i really fucking miss him. we were not on good terms before he died and it kills me that i never answered his last text. he has always struggled off and on with addiction, which led to pretty significant neglect of my grandmother when she started to get sick. obviously that caused the huge rift in the family. he was a large and charismatic presence. he was always the first person i would look for at every family event. he was loud and so, so full of love. i miss our big family gatherings. we always came together for fall activities and spent every thanksgiving and christmas together so this time of year hits me harder these last two years. actually, because of covid it’s really been closer to four years since we were all together. it has always been my favorite time of the year so i’m going to try to still enjoy what i can of it. it also kills me that my dad has lost his entire family in the last year and a half.

my bio dad passed about two years before my uncle, almost to the very day. they both passed as a result of their addiction. my bio dad was alone and was not found for a few days. i hate that we also were not on any sort of speaking terms. i hate that his family only spoke to me until i signed off on all the necessary paperwork for his cremation arrangements, as i was the next of kin. i hate that they did absolutely nothing to even acknowledge his death. they didn’t even write an obituary for him. i know i was better off without his selfish, bitter, and mean family but i still hate that i can’t even get to know who he was aside from his addiction. from what i do know i think we were very similar in a lot of ways. it’s been almost 30 years since my mom left that situation and i’ve only scratched the surface of processing everything that went along with it.

i’m just angry and sad and overwhelmed right now. thankfully i recently moved into a very nice apartment and i’ve done a nice job so far at decorating and making the space feel cozy and safe. it’s bigger and there’s much more light as well as an outdoor space. if all of this was hitting while i was still in my old apartment i know i would be so much worse. my best friend lives downstairs and she has been really great at checking in on me. she’s come up just to sit and say hi for a bit and we also went on a walk today. i’m trying to find the balance of needing my alone time and isolating from the world.

i’m going to attempt to get some actual work done right now. we’ll see how it goes.
