This year i have moved from white to 200 red holy berry ones, which i thought looked very effective.

DH said he thought he had pulled up outside a brothel when he arrived home {fblush]

Lots of white lights around the home though.

Seona1973 · 16/12/2008 19:58

we have a set of static green and red ones (a green and red bit on each bulb) and a set of flashing multi-coloured led ones - they have 4 colours and you can set them to flash at different speeds.

Thought about red berries this year, but have stuck to usual white ones on the tree, love them! Have coloured ones at patio doors, white icicles outside.

NewKnickersFromSantaOnMaHead · 16/12/2008 19:59

Soft white only. Anything coloured or flashing is banned (bah humbug emoticon)

nappyaddict · 17/12/2008 22:26

oh yes what do people think about those blue led ones?

heather1980 · 17/12/2008 23:36

multi coloured

Moondancer · 17/12/2008 23:43

White. No coloured tat in the Moon household!

Moondancer · 17/12/2008 23:44

Blue ones- cold and 'police-car' looking.

nappyaddict · 17/12/2008 23:46

So blue ones are tacky yes?

IdrisTheDragon · 17/12/2008 23:47

Multicoloured

Moondancer · 17/12/2008 23:52

Blue ones - not really tacky - just would make me feel very cold!

nappyaddict · 17/12/2008 23:55

They remind me of ambulances

expo · 17/12/2008 23:56

Used to have white ones when a stylish singleton. Then I had children and it is multicoloured all the way now - and if they flash even better. I will go back to white when the kids leave home!!!!

PurpleOne · 18/12/2008 02:26

White ones on the tree and multi coloured ones on the wall.
But the multi coloured ones have been on the wall since last Xmas...they save on electric!

Lizzylou · 18/12/2008 06:02

White
White icicle lights over the garage door outside and a santa outline at window, also white

A neighbour has red "berry" lights on her standard holly tree in her front garden, it looks lovely.

foxytocin · 18/12/2008 06:16

I will be spending Christmas in the Middle East. DH went out yesterday and bought an already decorated tree for dd1. It looks like it belongs in a rave party. Dh says there were more garish ones in the shop.
