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.

“The precedent for the street”? Oh hark the ruminations of the arbiter of taste… YABU - it’s Christmas, not a runway fgs…

Only warm white lights are acceptable so you're all wrong! lol.

I'm not a fan of cool white but it can look nice sometimes but it is an ABSOLUTE CRIME when people mix cool white and warm white 😂😂😂

I feel very strongly about it.

Hahahhahaha. I don't think it quite fits with Christmas lights to have expectations of them being classy, uniform and meeting a restrained modest standard.

Anyone with cool white lights is unreasonable imo.

This. They're an abomination.

Jesus Christ (in keeping with the theme) I even put lighthearted at the very beginning. Some people really need to lighten up.

It's not though is it.

You have too much time on your hands…

Good grief, I simply cannot believe that this is a problem. If that's all you have to worry about you are sure very fortunate.
