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.

I personally think the precedent on the street had already been set for cool white

I've put out: multicoloured (pink, turquoise, green and amber), cascades of warm white and today some red, gold and green. Because those are the lights I have, and I'm not going to go out and buy freezing white just to suit anyone else.

Maybe everyone just puts out the lights they already have, rather than trying to coordinate?

I'm planning more, I've sets of dancing lights and natty lilac, pink and purple sets. I usually have a glorious mishmash but I want it to be cheerful, that's my main criteria

Who died and made you god?

Presumably the last god.

We've got flamingo, cactus, pineapple and palm tree lights out front this year. Daughter insisted. They do just look like colourful ones from a distance but I'm sure we've already upset some of the "warm white or nothing" brigade.

Afraid I've no idea what these definitions even mean. My garish mismatched collection clearly wouldn't "pass muster" 🤣

I'm sorry, I've looked for the dog easyjet thread and I cannot find it! And I am intrigued and very bored haha

Could you link or tell me the title 😆

Nope multi coloured lights rock

Cool white and blue lights always remind me of those fly killing devices. YABU!

My opposite neighbour is the most unreasonable having FLASHING blue and white lights on ALL NIGHT. It's like having a permanent ambulance outside the house.

Went for a wee in the early hours and it was a like a disco in the bathroom (no blinds; our own fault there) but really..........

My vote is for nice quiet cool white ones with no bloody flashing!

You are all unreasonable because blue Christmas lights are a fucking abomination.

HTH.

Actually a gentle twinkle isn't so bad either. But absolutely No Flashing. Ever.

Migraine city.

About five years ago I bought multi-function blue lights for our sitting room tree.

I thought they looked okay until Mr Wicked came home from work and remarked "I see you've opted for the 'hot pursuit' setting".

I replaced them with some good old fashioned warm white ones the next day.

Hate cool white

even so this thread is ridiculous

Anyone with blue lights is BU in my book, so un-Christmassy. Warm white all the way, but green and red are acceptable.

This thread has got to be a joke. What the heck?! Hahaha!
Festive committee! Some people have way too much time on their hands.
I’d be tempted to go all out with crazy dancing and mooning Santas if my street ‘enforced’ something like this!

I see no precedent. One has blue , cool and warm

One has just cool

One has red

And one has blue, warm AND red

So a fair mix all around then?

What is the issue again?

Cool white blue lights make me think of alien abductions and operating theatres so they have zero place being used in domestic settings. Plus I a really sensitive to blue light so it's a double no from me. Bit warm terribly lights are gods greatest gift to the festive season , right after apricot filled liebkucken hearts and right before hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. They make you feel warm and lovely.

Perfect for that "dying in an icy crevasse" ambiance that we all strive for at Christmas.

Personally I like it when everyone else repurposes their operating room lights for outside decoration. It makes my warm lights look extra cosy and twinkly.

Of course, if you prepfer cool lights then just reverse the sentence above and change the mild-mannered insult to fit.

Jesus wept.

classic tacky multicoloured static lights for me.

You are all BU for not integrating them into your themes.

^ This

Completely agree.

These people need to be dunked in an ice bath and made to take down these monstrosities.

You are all being unreasonable because everyone knows the hold lights are the best.

I like your LIGHT HEARTED thread OP.

In an ideal world where I could control my neighbours lights I would insist they were all cool white. Twinkles are ok and pretty but flashing is absolutely not permitted. Lights would be on houses and in bay trees outside. There would be nothing loud or garish or lit up candy canes down the paths.

Alas, my neighbours do whatever the fuck they like and so it looks like Blackpool promenade during the illuminations, all we need is a tram.
