Garland looks good, when I plugged it in lights only lit 2/3 of the way.  I have some electrical back ground and years of exerience so I looked for the last lit bulb then replaced the next one , no luck, but luckily I had a granddaughter holding the garland for me to inspect and she said "all the others have 4 wires , this one has only three", so I found the wire and pushed it in and it lit most of the way to the end"  we found the wire and pushed it in and it lit all the way.  We are being very careful with it so we won't have to perform an operation on it before Christmas is over, when we can throw it away because it obviously won't make it in storage for a year.
