siageah Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 What kind of lights do you put up and where? Solid white on the outside porch? Twinkle lights on the tree? Flashing lights on the gutters? Those big color lights on the outside trees? Gold lights on the mantle? Share your must have lights in your must have spots!
siageah Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 I prefer to have twinkle lights in the center of my tree and multi strands through out the rest of my tree. Twinkle lights, however, have become dang IMPOSSIBLE to find! I did have plain white lights outside but my neighbors have started to irk me with their "status" and such, so I am going colored and heck, flashing with moving lights if I can. The interior is still done with white for now, though as my dd starts to develop an opinion, that will change. Honestly, if it makes her happy, I'll have motion lights in chartreuse and pink if it will make her happy, LOL!
cotinkandy1 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 My tree was white last year....I change ALOT. Who know this year
blakes_mommy Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 White outside , all colors inside and on the tree...
kmbrly Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I have a prelit tree, that I'll add a strand of twinkle lights, and then a strand of those big round bulb lights. All lights are multi colored. I don't like all white lights.
cleverbffool Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 All white inside and out, to me the color is the decorations.
laffnatu Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 All white inside and out, to me the color is the decorations.
elena_398 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I have a prelit tree with white twinkling lights. I have the white icicle lights around my decks. On the garage, I have one of those christmas projectors that flash different scenes.
sm1kla Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 For the past 8 years, we've done white inside & out. We are adding blue this year.
kmbrly Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 All white inside and out, to me the color is the decorations.I'm sooo the opposite. LOL I really don't even care if my tree has ornaments on it at all (weird, I know). My favorite is the lights, and lots of them. The most calming thing for me during the holiday season is to turn on my Christmas tree lights, and turn everything else in the house off. Watch tv or listen to Christmas music by the light of my (colored) Christmas tree. Ahhhhh, now I want to put the tree up today.
love2beurwifey Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I like plain white lights. They are just so much more convenient for me.
believet Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I have white inside and out. I love the blue icicle lights though.
glitterstarr Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Depends on what I want every year because I change each year. This year outside it's going to be red lights on the house. My bush out front will have white lights and I always put up blue lights in a star shape every year. Inside this year I am using white cluster lights on my tree. My daughter says I do to many lights on the tree but the more lights on the tree the better it looks. I will have 500 cluster lights on my tree this year. Each strand has 100 lights.
sammy50 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I still love the mini multi-color lights on the tree--and lots of them! I don't put lights up outside any more.
babygirl2310 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I love all colors of lights, but sometimes I like to switch it up. Some yrs. we do all white lights on the tree, some years we do all the colors on the tree.
rogue1230 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 we have prelit tree too, but I add multi-color to it and outside I do garland and wreaths on then fence with multi colored and multi colored on the porch too, gives it a ginger-bready feel I think!
mccabefamily29 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Last year I did my tree Blue and Silver. This year it is Purple and Silver. Well the lights are Purple and White.
Melissa Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 This year I think we're going to do red & white lights on the tree. Outside, we have multi-colored.
