to loathe and despise those fucking horrible neon blue 'Christmas' lights?

[TheLogLady]

which are in no way Christmassy at all and make the town look like it is hosting some emergency services convention, not celebrating Christmas?

Oh I heartily agree!

Christmas things should be red and green or silver and gold NOT BLUE

I agree, I hate blue lights with a passion, the colour of the emergency services and fly killing devices in kitchens.

D

LOL at fly killing devices!

Agree wholeheartedly. I had a friend telling me all about her Christmas tree colour scheme for this year - turqoise and purple. That's not f**ing christmassy!!!!

I really like them

Red/green/silver are warm colours, but blue is icy cold like a frosty morning.

Is it possible that they are actually Jewish people celebrating Hannukah?

Not if it's a Christmas tree or a blue neon baby Jesus, obviously, but the fairy lights in a window might be......

nop seeker. the entire town theme is neon fly -illing neee-naw blue and i hate it.

it is cold and hard, not all log-firy toasty, celebratory, red and greenish.

and i am not in israel.

I saw some purple and black Christmas decorations in Homebase recently

When I sold Christmas decs on ebay a couple of years ago, it was the pink tinsel that people really couldn't get enough of, as soon as it was listed it sold.

Could the purple and black just be halloween tinsel Sidge?

freak.

Haven you seen John Lewises 'alternative' tree this year?

It is black and hangs upside don from the ceiling. I roared with laughter.

I'm a bit fussy about my tree and decorations, always a real one with white non twinkly lights and a mishmash of decorations collected/ made over the years, but all very very 'christmassy' in style and colour. Loath anything 'trendy'

Multi coloured lights all the way in our house!!! I buy a ball ball every year so our tree is not all one colour I although have home made decs my son made hanging up. I so much prefer that than a colour coded tree..

I hate them-nothing is better than plain white (non flashing)

I've purple black and gold decs on a black tree with bright white lights tis very festive

I don't like the blue lights either though if you look directly at them they hurt your eyes!

Your town has Christmas lights - how flush are they!!! I haven't seen as much as a festive bauble or light in our town and last year the shops all had to rally around to pay for the lights.

Can't bear modern blue lighting .. yuck!

Hate them. Also hate black trees or pink trees.
emmie, I like "ball ball" . May borrow that.

Agent no I'm sure it was Christmas rather than Halloween as there was tinsel, baubles, stars, the whole shebang. Just in purple and black rather than PROPER red green and gold

And as for upside down trees and the like, well.....

I have some blue neon lights on my tree but i got them by mistake and couldnt be arsed to take them back to tescos. i wanted to whiter neon lights. But also have multi coloured lights on my tree aswell as the blue is crap and not bright at all.

yes. at least we have decs. i shouldn't criticise as they have tried so hard, raise funds all year etc but i'd like to find who chose the colour scheme and have words.

i like birds on my tree. and home made ball balls.

no, I agree - last year, a house had loads of blue lights all over it, and it looked horribly cold and uninvting.

urgh.

my shop lights are the normal white ones, which look lovely in the dark, cos they havea yellow hue to them, but I want some coloured ones now.

YANBU. HAS to be greens, reds, golds and silvers to be truly Christmassy!

The town where I live has plain clear fairies all over the trees, which looks just beautiful.

I love, love, love fairy lights!!

I love blue lights. I think we actually have some.

Mind you, it's a bit strange, and if I were decide all over again I might have gone a bit more traditional. I like our blue/silver/white tree, though.
