mgmckny Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have white lights now, but I like the multi-colors as well. The nice thing about the white ones though is they don't overpower the colors of the ornaments ( and I have overload on ornaments). I'm trying to figure out whether to do white or multi-color if I do the tree outside this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerkynPunctual Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 My DH decorates outside with multi-colored and most of the trees inside are in multi-colored. One tree is decorated in purple and gold, and it has all purple lights. My daughter has a purple tinsel tree for her room with purple lights, and my son has a matching blue one for his room with blue lights. Yes, I know, I have an addiction to Christmas trees.....

believet Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I love white lights inside, and blue icicle lights outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynnfromtheblock Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Before we had kids we had all blue lights, but then the kids wanted colored ones so we switched (actually now we have 2 trees and the smaller one is the way I like it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotinkandy1 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I like all white on my tree....and the inside and outside was red and white last year. I change color thems quit often. My kids like multi-color so this years will probably change..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Garner Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 White lights for the main tree in the living room and the snowman tree I want to do this year, the kids have desk size (small) trees in their room with colored lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jskarp Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 We do both. First I string the small white lights and then we string the larger color lights. It looks so pretty. Because we get a real tree I only plug the white lights in for the afternoon and late at night and when the kids are up or we have company I plug them all in. It is really neat with both, it gives the tree two different looks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-stella Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 It depends on the theme, but I'll say white because I usually always have a strand of white in all my trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitley like the gingerbread house effected the colored lights give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amani Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have a white tree, do you suggest color or white lights?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyismycat Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have a white tree, do you suggest color or white lights??Ooh, an all white tree with solid color lights would be really pretty! We're all white lights at our house except for one strand around the center of one tree, that's red. I am liking the idea of all white lights with some bigger, colored lights on the outside of the tree, tho. If DH had his way, the lights would look like they were choking the tree, you wouldn't see any actual branches, just outlines of them covered in wires.

Jeanne515 Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 All colored lights. I can't stand for my tree to blink either. I want it lit all the time. For the blinking, I use motion lights around the ceiling in my living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JustMeDiana Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 White??? I LOVE clear lights! I think all the color of the ornaments looks nice against the clear lights, and they can't blink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyismycat Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 ...Yep, we have a tree in every room except the bathrooms. LOL Do you tink I could find a way to put trees in there? hmmmmmm.....We did! I have a small travel-themed tree in our guest bathroom. I use all of the ornaments that we've collected on vacations on that tree. It makes it a little easier when traveling to know exactly what kind of souvenir I'm going to get, and ornaments take up less space than t-shirts! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjessie99 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 we use clear on the tree, and colored outside. we tried colored on the tree, and it seemed too dark, I ran clear up the middle to brighten it up from the inside. I use double the amount of lights that year...ggrr so from now on it clear on the tree all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
