Do you like the multi-colored, the all white lights, all red lights, the blue lights or any other color? Me I like the all white lights.

Even though I think the white lights are pretty. I do not like them as much as the colored. I've seen this one house with all blue lights. Wow!!! Very pretty! But I guess since I was raised with colored lights, that is what I like. Now....if they put out lights that were all purple! I would love those! I know all the neighbors would comment. 'Hey, you know that lady with the purple and blue hair? Would you believe she hung up all purple lights?' I have such snobs for neighbors. LOL

Now all the blue lights taht I have seen never look that good to me, the blue always wears off them so there is a lot of white lights shinning through. You mean there isn't any purple lights? I would think that there would be. Huh may have to look into that.

Well, if you find any...please tell me! I've thought about those black lights commonly found during Halloween. But then I get so siked on decorating for Halloween, that I forget to pick some up.

Hey, wanted to stop by and tell you that I thought about your question tonight while driving. There were a few houses that have the white lights that hang like icicles but have blue lights running on the top portion. It was really pretty!!! I don't know if they are selling the lights like that, but they are pretty. Just thought I would let you know that those white lights I would be good with cause they have a splash of color. :) Still would prefer the splash of color to be purple though. LOL

Ok now this is a discussion that many people need to get in on! I love Christmas lights, but there really needs to be laws or city ordainaces that need to be passed for those who decide to decorate their homes with lights. I'm all for free expression, but honestly there needs to be guidelines when decorating your homes and yards. If you choose white lights ... go with all white lights. Don't do your house trimmed in white and throw in a few trees with multi-colored lights ... this is tacky. If you go with colored lights pick one color or go with all multi-colored lights. DO NOT DO ONE STRAIN OF MULTI-COLORED AND ONE BLUE AND ONE RED! This again is tacky! Icicle lights were not meant to be multicolored and aren't meant to be hung from trees. Anything inflatable is in poor taste. Do not keep your lights up year around, especially the multicolored lights. Do not have your Christmas lights on February to October. There is the end of my ranting. :)

I am pretty sure that I may have touched a nerve on this one. Thank goodness I don't do any of those things... do I? All white lights... Check! Icicle lights on the house only... check! No inflatable things... Check! I think I am covered.

I like the multi-colored ones on the tree and they absolutely must not blink or I will have a fit.lol Now for outside, I like either the all white ones or the all blue ones.

I counld not agree more with you and the must not blink. I wish that some how all those bulb that make the light blink would just magically disappear from the earth.

I like to have themed trees every year, certain colors/theme. I think colored lights mess this all up. I have a Southern Miss tree (which is my alma mater) so it's all in black and gold. Anything but white lights would look bad. I like my big tree to be red and white only, so white lights are appropriate. Personally, I think multi-colored lights look tacky.

I don't put up christmas lights, but I think that the icycle lights are really pretty ( the white ones). I also think that any lights of one colour can look really nice. And the multicoloured ones too. Okay so that wasn't very decisive... I just like the lights in general - as long as they aren't up before December 1st! It really bothers me when I see Christmas display up the day after Halloween - or even before! One Hallmark had their Christmas stuff in JULY!!! How ridiculous is that?

I prefer the all white lights, but the multi-colored ones can be pretty if they aren't overdone. I really dislike some of the lights I've seen this year, though -- there were a few houses in my neighborhood that had bright orange or bright blue lights!

All white lights for me. But I usually lose the vote on this because my kids love the colored ones.

I like all kinds of ones and it depends on where I am putting them or what theme I am going with. Like this year on our tree we are doing purple & silver...so I'll probably do white and we were hoping to find a purple set, but haven't yet that we like. In the windows we do multi-colored. Around the kitchen I do plain white.

I think that all of the types of lights that you mentioned are pretty, but the multi-colored lights are so very lovely! I enjoy the rainbow of colors so much! ^_^ The all white lights are probably my second favorite type, though. I agree with you that they are totally beautiful! ^_^

I like the multi colored lights, because they remind me of nostalgic holidays when I was a kid, back in the days of yore! ha!
