I've just put up my tree and I normally put warm white lights on it. For a change I thought I would try coloured lights this year.
When I was a kid, we always had multicoloured fairy lights, the kind with replaceable bulbs and I remember them being a softer, more sparkly light with pink, maybe purple, yellow and turquoise bulbs as well as the red, green, blue, orange.
The LED ones I've just bought are awful in comparison, too bright and garish and just red, blue, green and orange bulbs.
Can you still buy the more traditional lights anywhere? Or am I imagining (or mis-remembering) the lights of my childhood? It was 1970s/80s so a while back!!
