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

I love them!

I've got bluey white ones at the moment because they were what was cheap in Tesco when the old lot died. I also had a blue and silver tree the last few years adn now I've gone for purple/turqoise/blue/green baubles this year - just liked the colours and I don't like red and green and gold.

Fancied a change and a bit of colour (if I ever get to put the damn thing up this year)

I have pink lights at the moment. It said red on the box, but they are most definitely pink. Looks pretty though

My town has had blue lights for a few years now. They do look a bit cold.

CrazyPlateLady · 26/11/2010 16:37

I hate them. I can't see them properly, they look so blurred to me its like I haven't got my glasses on.

Our town only has blue and white lights. It looks shit tbh. Red, green and gold are nice and christmassy.

I love them - so much classier and more original than the more traditional colours.

That said, I am fed up with the blue lights that have adorned our house for the last 4 years, so am ditching the blue lights this year and going for plain white lights. I personally don't like the whole multi-coloured thing.

"I am fed up with the blue lights that have adorned our house for the last 4 years"

...only at Christmas time obviously, not all year!

TattyDevine · 26/11/2010 19:02

I'm with ya, op, I like the warm yellow candle coloured lights not the blue hued ones.

More christmassy and candle ish.

WhyIsThatThen · 26/11/2010 19:05

YANBU I hate them. They are cold and bright and dazzling and not at all pretty or warm or nice. I actually shut my eyes when I see them. Nasty bloody things.

Black Christmas trees look like they should be called charred trees.

Both are wrong. End of.

I like my multi coloured, random baubled real tree that gets loved and watered and loved all throughout christmas. Until we chop it up and give to FIL to dry and burn.

Oh and those frigging flashing bloody lights should be banned too.

TrinityMotherOfRhinos · 26/11/2010 19:05

I hate red,, green and gold, they are horrid colours

we have new decs this year blue, purple and white, absolutely gorgeous

unfitmother · 26/11/2010 19:14

YANBU, I hate them too!

MarshaBrady · 26/11/2010 19:21

LED lights are yeuch.

Warm, normal soft plain bulbs on a green wire the only way to go.

Light that twinkles rather than er zaps harshly.

LadyOfTheFlowers · 26/11/2010 19:29

Blue lights are shite.

Kids saw a black tree in a shop window recently and asked why it was burnt.
I had to reply I didn't know why. Confused

moonstorm · 26/11/2010 19:48
