Where are all the bright multi coloured lights?

I drove along a long, nice street in Edinburgh tonight in slow moving traffic.

This gave me the chance to look at all the windows - and house after house hard lovely big trees with white lights only.

Is this reflective of this year’s fashion or simply posh Edinburgh?

White's nicer although I do have coloured ones on a tree outside. Inside it's warm white all the way.

See I think it’s gone the other way. A few years ago it was all white lights but seen loads of colour ones this year.

I have white on the tree and multicoloured round the window. I also have snowflake stickers on the window, tinsel on the tree, ceiling decorations and santa faces, snowmen and stockings on the wall. It's very tacky Grin

Lots of colours around me Smile

I wanted to buy some new lights this year and they were all white. I don't want tasteful and fashionable I want blingy proper Christmas lights. Blue are my favourite akin to toilet brushes on MN

There ar eno red lights this year. We always have red lights. A couple of our sets have died and everything in the shops is cold white, blue, green or at best warm white.
I saw one multi-coloured set for sale in Clas Ohlsen but it was mainly cold colours with the occasional red chucked in. No yellows or oranges or pinks.

Sunshine - outrageous, Grin But you must have lots of choice. Can't move for chilly blue lights round here.

Edinburgh’s classy.

Had enough of white. Bought a 300 bulb multi-coloured set from John Lewis. It has made me the DC very happy.

Ive always had coloured lights...white are so dull

I bought a new set this year and we are just about getting used to the brightness
