Season's greetings to you too! COol invention, all we need now is solar powered christmas lights. LOL

Solar powered christmas lights are disclosed, for example, in US 5,034,658 to Hierig et al., entitled "Christmas-tree, decorative, artistic and ornamental object illumination apparatus", although the invention is really that the lights are connected to the power source by either infra-red or induction.

I particularly like reference number 20, indicating the small gap between "male" and "female." (At least, I'm assuming that's what they are... it's hard to tell, since they aren't labeled). Or maybe, 20 refers to the loving look in "female's" eyes.
