It's not classy. It's boring.
Am I right or am I right?

I prefer colorful lights. Plain white lights just feel so dry to me.

I've Christmas lights hanging in my tv room, over a fireplace mantle, 12mos a year, finer ambiance than a lamp. Alternating warm & cool whites is the way to go.
Anyone with blinking lights of any colour should be deported to Mars.

I changed my preference about 20 years ago. Plain white lights do look classier. Colors can be provided by ornaments and decorations. Now I think colored lights look like a cheap carnival.

We've just got white lights on the tree. Fought the wife about this but it was a losing battle. I drew the line on the house. She wanted white lights out there too but I said no, I wanted blue. We compromised on red. They are the old style C9 bulbs and not those wimpy LED lights. C9's literally make my electric bill higher in December than my AC does in July.

Agreed, our lights can change colors so until the kids come over it’s white but they like the colors as most kids do. I do like colors outside though. |

It's a white folks thing. Plain, boring and uninspired. Kind of like having salt as y'alls only spice. Best to fall in line and do what everyone else does. Y'all don't want color in your neighborhood so you sure don't want none in your house even if it's on a tree. Where's the Kwanzaa thread at by the way?

It's not classy. It's boring. Am I right or am I right? Classy and classic.
But ultimately, a waste of money on Xmas decorations and electricity.

White lights are the ones for me. And since my taste defines class, then they are inherently classy.

I severely restrict my use of salt, but I freely use several other spices on a regular basis.

For me, the use of white lights is because that's what stars are when viewed through the branches of a pine tree, and the clearness of icicles and snowflakes. It's a 'nature' thing for me, the Winter Solstice. Oh, and I do use salt, but many other spices too. Turmeric is supposed to be healthy, so I've started experimenting with that, now. |

I prefer colored lights but they can look good depending on the tree and light arrangement.
I think a frosted tree type would look good with white lights.

Sheesh!  I like those white lights. There's a place for them. They look good in certain places, on certain kinds of homes and in certain kinds of homes. Back when I was growing up, when Christmas trees tended have bigger bulbs than they do today and most even college educated middle class folk didn't care a flying bloofer lady whether people thought their home looked classy, white lights had a place alongside all the other more colorful ones. |

I've only had a 'Green Fairy' once ,and it was delicious, but I don't think there was enough wormwood in the Absinthe to produce any of the hallucinogenic side effects. |
