    Artificial (Allergies)

    Lots of White Lights inside and out (no blinking, twinkling, racing, or flashing....just illuminating)

    Everything is down Dec 26, it just looks like work after Christmas.

    Fake all the way.

    White large bulbs with gold accent lights.

    Day After Christmas...every year... no exceptions.

    Drink wine while putting put, enjoying and taking down tree.

    Guess I'm the only one who has colored lights. :blushing:

    Oh and I have a fake tree with the lights already attached so it takes less than 5 minutes to put up!!!!

    It will be down BY January 1st.

    Prefer real but have a fake this year.

    Colored lights. This year I have blue lights per son's choice.

    Tree stays up until after the 1st of the year.

    My idea of a Christmas miracle would be for elves to come in and put it all away while I'm eating Christmas dinner. That's a better vision than those damn Sugarplums dancing.

    The first time I ever saw white lights anywhere, I was a kid visiting San Diego and they had white lights on a pier somewhere. I always equate white lights to seafood restaurants. :laugh:

    No offense, white light lovers! :flowerforyou:

    LOL! That's funny!

    Yeah, I figure Christmas is a time for lots of color and if I am going to put stuff up, I want it super colorful and festive. *Shrug*

    White lights can be pretty and serene though.
