Okay...I said it here and I said it here. Now let me say it here:
Christmas lights should be colored. All white lights are very, very boring. That's right -- white lights are not more elegant, they are not more classy -- they are BORING. B-O-R-I-N-G!
Christmas should be fun, happy and colorful. White lights are prim and uptight. So Christmas lights should have colors. Lots of colors!
Update: The current logo at A Small Victory says it all, I think. ;-)
That's a good way to settle the debate...then everyone's happy. :-D
Colored and blinking is my preference. And I don't like to decorate outdoors, though this year our house is sticking out like a sore thumb for its plainness. Maybe a simple manger scene will do.
Joel,
I don't put lights on the house, either. I would like to, but I never have the time or energy to do so. So, the outdoor decorations consist of a wreath on the door and those big, plastic candy canes planted in the yard. If I did put lights on the house, they'd be colored! ;-)
Now, the tree definitely has colored lights, with colorful ornaments. The lights are supposed to blink, but they don't always do so.
And this is the very reason we have two trees in our house - - one with white lights and one with colored ;)
