A lighted ornament. The lighted ornament comprises a first tower and a second tower attached to a base. Lights within light bores are disposed within the first tower, the second tower and the base. The first tower, second tower and base are made of light-transmissive material, which may be transparent or translucent, colored or not. A light-transmissive spire may be disposed atop one or both towers. The base may comprise a base upper surface and a base indicia flat disposed at a side of the base upper surface opposite the first tower and the second tower. Base indicia may be inscribed on the base indicia flat, and the lights within the first tower, second tower and/or base imbue the base indicia with a warm, aesthetic aura. An alternate embodiment is disclosed into which existing bulbs may be inserted.
