AIBU To Not like Blue Christmas lights? (Light-hearted)

[Delilah21D00LoT]

I really do not like them and yet where I live they have become very 'popular'.

I love original yellow fairy lights, no chaser, no flashing, no colours as such -no bright white.

Never mind, each to their own! X

To reiterate, the blue LED lights are vile as are the white LED ones.

Oh I love the blue ones!

I used to work with someone vehemently opposed to them, it made me laugh when we drove past some at Christmas and he muttered in displeasure

I was in a cafe yesterday and they had beautiful blue and white lights- very tiny and twinkly rather than flashing.
I actually like the icy cold ones I thought they looked good in the snow.
We have multi coloured ones here both inside and out.

I'm willing to bet that the majority of the houses near me, if not all of the houses, that have blue lights up aren't celebrating Hanukkah.

I know they are talking about Christmas . They are judging something else by the standards of Christmas. Those who put up blue lights are most likely not celebrating Hanukkah, I agree, just taking the one external symbol of it that literally hits you literally between the eyes, only to have others complain that it's not Christmassy. And no, it's not. The point being that complaining they are not Christmassy shows ignorance of what they actually are.

Sigh

I can't stand them.

As an aside, I live in the most jewish residential area outside Isreal per capita of population. Barely a single blue light up for Hannukah.

My BFF doesn't go for blue lights but she does have a multicoloured flashing menorah 🕎 and musical dreidel instead for Hanukkah.

I prefer the soft white lights and almost ended up in a row with DP when he suggested blue lights but then I saw some on the outside of a local house the other day and they were really pretty in keeping with colours of the door/garage etc 😂 made the mistake of tell DP it looked pretty now he keeps talking about getting them for next year 🙄 but I just think like everything else in the world every one likes different things and can do what that want - apart from my DP, blue lights won't be being seen in this house 😂😂

The perfect reply, thank you ☺
I was starting to regret starting this thread (despite adding 'Lighthearted').

Oh I know what you mean. I hate bright blue lights, but I prefer multi-coloured lights to plain. Why can't I buy "warm" multi-coloured lights? Can't you make LEDS that aren't so brash??? If you can, where do I buy them?

I was only saying the same thing to dh last night when we were out walking the dog.

I always buy solar lights and am sad that the soft white light is so hard to buy.

I don’t like them at all DH bought some and currently adorn our tree DS and DH love them. Can’t be arsed to change them this year but they might accidentally get packed in the bin.

Got to say I didn't mean to offend anyone with the I don't like them! I love Hanukkah blue lights as they're something special but I don't like the idea of them becoming a Christmas decoration, it's too bright to me for that.

I've also got to say that the OP did just seem to mean Xmas lights in blue and to make her feel uneasy for mentioning that is awful. I hope you all enjoy Hanukkah and Christmas, which ever you celebrate ❤️

Posters: "I don't like blue Christmas lights."

mathanxiety: "JEW HATERS."

Yeah, okay.

Blue is not Christmassy - it's the emergency services.

I love bright multi coloured lights and trees.
My tree has a coloured set and a white set.
I could have them flashing but I don't like it, so they are always on static.

In fact, this is my tree. I love it.

DailyMail, that's not what I said, which was - insensitive and possibly ignorant, and definitely incapable of understanding irony.

Yes they are sold as 'blue Christmas lights'. But they are Hanukkah lights. I have noticed that many US traditions arrive in the UK with something significant lost in translation. This is one of them.

We're not fans either, though we have them up as my MIL bought them for us from adult BIL and it seemed wasteful to spend money on others.

I like warm glow yellow. Our neighbour has arranged hers so they look like dancing fire. They're lovely.
