Do you like white or color lights on your tree? I like just white lights, I used to like the multicolered lights, And

[debm55]

have to twinkle

[dflprincess]

1. My tree is prelit with white lights

I add a few strings of colored lights. Just seems more cheerful to me.

[debm55]

4. Thank you dflprincess. Happy Holidays.

[Phoenix61]

2. Real tree with colored lights. nt

[debm55]

5. Thank you Phoenix61. Sounds very pretty.

[emulatorloo]

3. Our new LED pre-lighted tree has a switch so that you can have the lights either white or multicolored.

I like white, others like color, so we take turns around here!

[debm55]

6. I like that idea. Thank you.

[paleotn]

7. Colors please. And blinky lights are the best.

[debm55]

8. That sounds very nice. On yes i like the twinkle lights too. Happy Holidays

[paleotn]

42. Same to ya!

When I was a youngster, the old incandescents were all you could get. They'd get hot enough for tinsel to melt and stick to the bulbs. Then mini, mini's came out and the old, ancient incandescent strings never left the Christmas box. Dad couldn't bring himself to throw them away. Too many memories.

My parents grew up with actual candles on the tree. Actual freaking candles! They'd light them, marvel at the tree for a bit, then quickly blow them out before they burned down the house.

9. Colored lights are my preference, but I'll take whichever ones still light up, LOL!

[debm55]

10. HAHAHA And the ones that can be untangled

[lucca18]

11. I love just all white lights!

Sometimes, the tree looks so beautiful with just the white lights, I am tempted not to put anything else on the tree!
But, I always put on my favorite Christmas ornaments!
🎄🎄🎄🎄

[debm55]

12. Yes white lights have that magical touch.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

13. I've got ours set to alternate back and forth from color to white.

🎄

[debm55]

14. Someone else mentioned that. It sounds like a great alternative to the either or. TY

[MiHale]

15. Used to do multi-colored bulbs...

But the since ‘Advent’ of LED’s we opt for red, green and white strands of mini’s. LED colors are too much sometimes.

[debm55]

17. I like the mini twinkling lights. Reminds me of a snow covered tree.

[NewHendoLib]

16. White mini lights, not LED, non twinkling

Colored ones on our front bushes

[debm55]

18. Sounds wonderful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.

[justaprogressive]

19. White lights 4 me

Can't seem to find any violet this year

[debm55]

20. Love whit lights for the indoor tree. TY

[beaglelover]

21. The artificial tree at the Italian restaurant we go to weekly has lights that alternate between white and

multi colored! It is SO cool!

[debm55]

22. I am definitely going to look for those after Christmas. TY

[Niagara]

23. This is the 1st year that I've got to display a tree (artificial) in over a decade.

Our now deceased cat chewed on the branches and got sick while bringing the pieces of the branches back up.



Anyway, I specifically purchased an unlit Christmas tree so that I can change it up every year. I'm not a big fan of fiber optic or pre-lit trees.


This year I have multicolored lights and the 150 set strand came with 16 different settings. I've been changing the settings every day so that is does something different every day.


Next year, I might do a Victorian themes Christmas tree with strands of warm white lights. Try saying that 3 times fast.

[debm55]

27. Sorry about your cat Niagara. Your new tree sounds wonderful. Sixteen settings?? Amazing. The Victorian tree sounds just

my style. I have an alpine tree with red lights and little sweater, socks and caps I knitted. PS I am going to kick up the elf thread on Sunday.hahahahahahahahah so we can see what is going on at the North Pole.

[Niagara]

44. You're alpine tree sounds absolutely beautiful, Debbie.

Sounds like a plan, I'm looking forward to the elf thread.

[debm55]

45. Thanks Niagara,

[ailsagirl]

24. Definitely white lights

They’re elegant but understated. Magical.
😎

[debm55]

28. I agree --something about them makes the tree magical. I use multicolored outside, but in the house it's white.

[Aristus]

25. Colored lights. Reminds me of my childhood.

My childhood memories of Christmas are the best. What a breathtakingly magical time.

[debm55]

29. I have a pine tree in my backyard. My son got it with his Happy Meal burger for Earth Day. It has been in the backyard

for 28 years and we decorated with multicolored lights. It is now about 20 feet high.

[Diamond_Dog]

33. We also have a pine tree in our backyard my son brought home from kindergarten for Earth day

It was growing out of a Dixie cup.

Son is 36 years old and the tree is 20 feet tall. 🙂

[debm55]

38. That's funny. It's getting to big. But I can't bare the thought of cutting McDonald's tree down. Happy Holidays.

[Lefta Dissenter]

26. Mine is a pre-lit tree

I have multi-colored lights until New Years Eve and then switch to the white lights until I take the tree down a week or two later.

It feels like a change of season for me! 🎄

[debm55]

31. I think that's why I like to use one on the inside and multicolor on the outside trees. I am getting one of those that

swithch colors they sound very neat. Having them up in January is a nice touch also. We would celebrate my late Fathers Christmas in January. ----Three Kings Day. Then we would take it down.

[claudette]

30. I like

red and green only

[debm55]

32. I posted on another thread that I have an eight room house and each room had it's own themed tree. One tree had red and

green lights . What kind of ornaments do you place on it. Red and green plaid bows were used on mine. and solid red and green balls. TY claudette and have a Happy Holiday.

[claudette]

34. The decorations

are varied color glass Christmas balls. All the homemade ornaments made by my children and grandchildren. Shiny garland usually gold. I only have one tree. It must be great to decorate 8 of them!!! I’m too busy making Stromboli and other goodies for the holiday!!

You have a great Holiday too and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you!!

[debm55]

36. That was when my son was young. Here in western PA we have 5 days off for Thanksgiving. Monday is the first day of deer

hunting, so I would do during that time.I was younger too. No 8 trees now. Your tree sounds beautiful. Enjoy your time.

[sinkingfeeling]

35. I used to have all blue lights on my 9 foot tree. It was all

done in blue white, and silver ornaments. Now I have a 3 foot tree with white, non blinking lights.

[debm55]

37. Your tree sounds like one of my 8. trees. No more. I have a small tree too. with a Nordic theme. Happy Holidays to you.

[Hekate]

39. Both! I have a string of lights that cycles back and forth between white and multicolor...

Decades ago I saw a stack of faux trees in the craft store. They were made of some kind of vine, woven into a conical shape, sprayed gold. Light and airy, different heights — I chose one under 4’ just right to put on a table, and wound the lights around it.

It’s perfect to put all my ornaments on in December. No guilt about a plastic tree, and no pine needles all over the place from a real tree.

Jingle Bells! Deck the Halls!

[debm55]

40. I know which ones you are talking about. They make deer from them too, They are beautiful. You tree sounds beautiful.

Have a Happy Holiday.

[scipan]

41. Funny you should ask. I just changed mine to white

And twinkle.

I have a remote where I can change the color and effects. When I get bored with one, I change it. Previously I had blue flash then red then multi.

Gonna go with red and green when it gets closer to Christmas. It's fun.

[debm55]

43. I need to get one of those!!!! That sounds wonderful and beautiful. TY

[scipan]

50. They're little but pretty bright. I just have a 5' tree.

I got them from Amazon. Don't know how long they'll last but I've had similar ones that are about 3 years old now.

In case you're interested:

Nice thread.

[debm55]

51. Thank you scipan. I will check them out and see if it will arrive before Christmas.

[AllaN01Bear]

46. both. have straands and pre lit. fibre optic.

[debm55]

47. Thank you, might see if they on sale after Christmas

[yellowdogintexas]

48. our tree is pre-lit with white. It's a small tree so we do not add any other lights

When we put up a large tree, we alternated multi and white strings on the tree and strung them along the top of the branches all the way to the tip. One string of white, followed by a string of multi. It made for a beautiful tree.

Before I married Mr YD my tree was all white: lights, some white ball type ornaments with the rest of the ornaments clear glass. Some years I put silver beads on it for garland. It was gorgeous. However Mr YD likes color so we compromised. My door wreath however has only white lights.

We do not always do it but we like red lights on the outdoor shrubbery in front of the house. I got new ones this year because the old ones are dying.

[debm55]

49. Your tree sounds beautiful with the clear glass and silver ornaments sounds beautiful.

[Sanity Claws]

52. Red lights

I am not a big fan of the multi-colored lights. I like white lights or red lights with ornaments that harmonize with the color scheme.

[debm55]

56. Thank you, Sanity Claws. I like the multi colored outside but the white inside. Happy Holidays.

[GP6971]

53. Inside lights are all white while

the outside lights are multicolor.

[debm55]

61. Same here. Have a Happy Holiday GP6971

[GP6971]

64. Same to you!! n/t

[WVlaserguy]

54. I like multicolored lights, my wife likes all white

…the tree is all white lights….

[debm55]

62. I like an all white lighted tree, too. Happy Holidays to you and your wife.

[AltairIV]

55. We like both

Our indoor cut tree has LED multi colored lights. The three wreaths outside are all white lights.

[debm55]

60. Thank you AltairIV and have a Happy Holiday.

[calguy]

57. Remember those dorky-looking bubble lights back in the sixties?

dOhbGnjVkNM&pp=ygUqT2xkIGZhc2hpb25lZCBidWJibHkgY2hyaXN0bWFzIHRyZWUgbGlnaHRz

[debm55]

58. We called them Charlie Brown lights because they were like the ones on the show.

[calguy]

59. I think they're valuable collector's items today

[debm55]

63. Yes, they are.

[PJMcK]

65. Different every year

We’ve accumulated numerous strands of lights. Gold, blue, white and multi-colored. We choose the light based on nothing more than our feelings at decoration time. This year, one tree has reddish-orange lights and the other has multi-colored strands.

[debm55]

66. Thanks PJMcK Happy Holidays to you and your family.

[PJMcK]

67. And best wishes to you and yours, debm55! (n/t)

[marble falls]

68. For some reason I want an aluminum tree with blue ornaments, white garland and a revolving a four color revolving spot.

Some mix of these.

[debm55]

69. They are lovely. I especially like the aqua ones. Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.
