My Christmas tree says I can't be bothered with all that business of untangling lights etc. It's a fibre optic colour changing thing with stars and no other decorations whatsoever.

For vorlon - from someone who worked in a glue making factory I was told:

The glue manufacturing process is basically as follows:

gather up bones and hides of dead cows, wash to remove dirt and scrape off any left over meat.
soak in lime water for 60-90 days
wash againto remove hair and lime
neutralize with acid, drain, wash & drain
add water, heat at 110F for 2-4 hours
drain off the dilute glue solution, evaporate to thicken
repeat last 2 steps 3-4 times to extract all of the glue increasing the temperature by 20-25 deg. F each time.
