What is your preference for the Christmas tree?
Growing up we had a room that my mom decorated with white lights, it was “her” Christmas room so to speak that she loved to decorate.
Downstairs in the family room, we had a more “traditional” multi-color room that was more of a family affair. I loved this room much more.
Ha! Princess Pepperwinkle and I “fight” over this every year. She loves white lights, I love colored lights. We usually find a way to have both in different places of the house and porch.
Multi-coloured all the way. Though I’ll admit that I’ve seen some “professional” trees (e.g., in public places) that seem to use both to good effect. I’d never have that kinda light density on my own tree, though.
I go back and forth. This year, all our outside lights are white, and the inside lights (the tree and other decorations) are multicolored.
Multi-colored without question. Diversity!!
Multi-colored on the tree.
White lights on the house.
Traditionally, it has been multi-colored on the tree and indoors. White lights outside.
But my sister, who shares the property with me and does the decorating, thinks otherwise and the outside looks like a Christmas factory exploded. Festive yes, garish probably. But it makes the old girl happy, so what the heck. She gets such a kick out of it all.
I’m very much like Rhiannon.
We only put lights up outside - we spent so many years out of town on Christmas that we just got out of the habit of any inside decorations. On those outside lights, the ones on the house, sidewalks and railings are white. The lights on the bushes are colored. I think it’s a nice mix.
When it comes to an indoor Christmas tree, I’m in favor of white lights. The ornaments already add so much color that colored lights are just overdoing it. If there were no ornaments, I’d want colored lights.
White on the Christmas trees, white on the silver and green garland inside and out, and white on the shrubs and wound around the trees outside.
My wife and I love both luckily. I think we’ve had both kinds of trees. This year it’s back to a multi-colored tree.
I just wish I was in the Christmas mood…
Grew up with the big, hot multicolored lights. We use white lights, although we had a blue spruce in the front yard in Anchorage that I always did in blue lights. Here in Portland we have white lights on the porch, and this year I put blue lights on the spindly little maple in the yard. I really dislike the LED bulbs; we tried them one year and threw them out after xmas.
Multi-colored all the way. Only blind people like white lights.
There is no such thing as “overdoing it” when it comes to a Christmas tree. Colored lights, some garland or pretty ribbon, so many assorted, mismatched ornaments you can barely see the tree, lights, or garland.
I love to look at other people’s Christmas trees–it gives you that sense of personality you get walking through someone’s house, but all distilled down into one corner.
I prefer white Christmas lights. Small but bright ones, well-spaced, so they look more like stars than some sort of landing zone.
My favorite is having all green, or all blue, or all red, etc. So colored, but all one color.
I like a “clean look” on the Christmas tree. White lights, gold and silver tinsel and ornaments.
Around the house I will use multicolored lights. I found green/red/white combo lights at Target that look really nice. For some reason I’ve personally never been a fan of the rainbow color combos for Christmas lights. Just my personal preference.
White lights. I understand that my daughter does/will have very different opinions though, so as soon as she’s sensible enough she’ll get a small tree in her room with whatever color lights she wants.
My mom does red lights on her tree and it’s lovely.
I like both.
I once pet sat for a client that lived in a neighborhood that only allowed white lights. (All curtains had to have white linings as well). It was the most boring neighborhood to drive through.
I think mixing it up is best.
You and my wife would get along very well.
For me, decorating a tree is like a woman putting on makeup. If you can’t see her face anymore, she did something wrong. 
multi colored C-9’s only. Getting hard to find anymore.
