Which neighbour with Christmas lights is being unreasonable?

[D20]

Light hearted - I won’t be slipping neighbours a note with their Christmas card!

neighbour 1: mostly blue and cool white lights with one strand of warm white on a big tree

us: cool white lights

neighbour 2: red lights

neighbour 3: new lights this year in blue, red and warm white.

I personally think the precedent on the street had already been set for cool white and neighbour 3 should have fallen in line and 1 are slightly unreasonable with their mix of warm and cool.

But if neighbour 3 had fallen in line they might have been accused of copying! 😁

Nobody.
Everyone's having the lights they prefer and I'm sure the street looks lovely and festive.

Isn't Xmas supposed to be "as many colours as possible" ? 😄

Is this a joke?

Wtf am I reading?!

What your street really needs is an inflatable Christmas dinosaur 🦖

This is the most bonkers thing I’ve read today, and I’ve read the thread about the 12 days of Christmas, the one with the dog in an Easy Jet vest where the OP lied about her location, and the one where someone wanted to call their daughter Placebo. BON-KERS.

🎉

I prefer warm lights so I think you guys should follow your neighbour :p

The neighbours in the street next door (one of the most desirable in the postcode with the most palatial period houses) have a festive committee whereby they agree - and enforce, no word of a lie - a colour and theme for all the exterior Christmas decorations. It’s delightfully bonkers. Give it a go next year!

@LegoDeathTrap i missed the update that she’d lied about her location!! Crazy 😳

Anyone with cool white lights is unreasonable imo.

Warm lights are nicest and i really dislike blue ones as they make me think the emergency services are coming.

Cool lights are completely unreasonable and should be banned.

Oh for goodness sake. Any lights people like or no lights at all. Just no flashing ones please.

I don't imagine that any neighbour considered what anyone else was doing unless there are HOA rules and they live in the US.

Red, white and blue though.......🙄

This is MN and the policy is warm white or vintage style multi coloured only. Anything else is shameful.

1. Cool lights remind me of operating theatres.

1. If we had to follow 'precedent' in our street, if have to buy a massive inflatable santa, but also dig out my pumpkin again (we're very much the moderates apparently).

1. I'm a born rebel, so the idea of a street theme would be the primary deciding factor when choosing the most garish and visually offensive lighting combo.

Fortunately for everyone else, my kids insist on putting all the lights we've ever owned in our living room so our neighbours are not exposed to the shocking mix of flashing, twinkling, and clashing colours that are burned into my retinas by new year!! 😁

I don’t like blue and white, so cold !

Another chiming in to say cool lights are horrible and you should have warm

Festive committee sounds dedicated. My cousins road is similar but there’s the odd house out of about 20 that never joins in so maybe they’re not invited to the committee meeting.

This!

But also the street doesn’t have to match

They "enforce" it...? Sounds scary, brilliant idea for Midsommer Murders though....

Hate blue flashing Christmas lights especially when driving always think there's an ambulance coming. Put whatever colour lights on your own house as you want and let others do the same.

Seconded!
