i love love love christmas lights/fairy lights/string lights. I like it when lighting is dispersed rather than directed; I think it's a friendly ambience! but i just hung some LED fairy lights up in my office to replace the lamp usually in there and... i don't know if it's a problem with the lights or if it's a problem with my eyes, but they look like they're shimmering, coruscating, moving at all times like they're shaking back and forth infinitesimally. humbug!

tap your glasses while looking at one of the bulbs. if the image of the bulb is drawn out into a line with light-and-dark segments, then it's probably flickering at a relatively low frequency that's easily noticeable with small eye movements (probably 60 Hz from half-wave-rectified house current, assuming this is the U.S.)
