[57] ABSTRACT

Decorative lights are mounted on trees such as Christmas trees or the like by positioning a crown at the top of the tree with the crown including a closed loop collar to which a plurality of elongated tracks are pivotally mounted with a pulley associated with each track and being secured to the collar so that a string of lights may be guided by the track by use of a cord tied to the string and extending over the pulley.
