Claim:
A string light type imitation Christmas tree kit for installation on and support from a flagpole having pulley means at a top of the flagpole and a rope accessible to a user at ground level for raising or lowering a flag attached to fasteners fixed to said rope, where said kit comprises a circular crown connector and adapted to be raised by connection with said fastener from ground level by way pulling of said rope and multiple light strings connected at one their ends to said crown connector and to another of their ends to a circular hoop means having a diameter two or more times that of the crown connector, so that when said crown connector is raised to a topmost position the circular hoop means are raised off of the ground and said light strings extend outward radially from the flagpole and downward from the crown connector to an outer edge of the circular hoop means to generally define a conical structure which visually appears to be in the shape of a lighted Christmas tree when a power means provides electrical power to the light strings and the light strings comprise flexible wires electrically connecting and bearing small lights, said small lights are arranged at approximately equal distances along the light strings, where said light strings are all electrically joined for connection to said power means, whereby the crown connector comprises a top ring for engaging the fastener, a circular split ring defining a gap through which the flagpole can pass, strands of varying lengths connecting the split ring and the top ring so that the split ring is generally horizontal when at the topmost position, and connection means for ends of the light strings on a circular frame.
