Clear or colored?

YellowLabMom — Sun, 14 Dec 2014 00:52:43 GMT

I am sitting here looking at my little Christmas tree with colored lights. As a child, I loved lying underneath the tree, looking up at the lights. I like both clear and colored lights but I have to say colored is my favorite. What do you like best?

I loved the Christmas tree that we got from the Q years ago ( and just died this year) that had a choice of white, colors, or white and colors together. I always had on the white and colors together, it was beautiful and brighter than just colored alone.

Blue lights are my favorite. When I was growing up we had big blue lights on our real trees.

I prefer multicolor but DH prefers white. Since we moved to Fl 4 Christmases ago we have had white. However, the mulitcolor lights we used to put on our real trees in Pa are now on the hedges outside of the sliding door in the LR so I can see them from in the house, so we both get what we like. In front of the house DH decorated our palm trees with white lights.

For nostalgic reasons, I prefer the multicolored lights. My preference is to have a tree that says home, not a staged looking tree. It just depends on your style of décor. Both are lovely.

White lights for me all the way. However, DH has a Star Trek tree, and that one has multi colored lights.

I have one of those trees that has a foot pedal and you can choose white or colored or morphing lights. Some days I'm in the mood for white; other days it's colored lights. I like having a choice.

I've always liked white lights because they remind me of stars in the sky. As a child, I loved the real twinkling lights.

I like and have both! A smallish snowman themed tree with white lights and our larger family tree with multicolored lights.

I prefer colored. I do an old fashioned tree where many of the ornaments have been gifts through the year.

LOL...why just either/or?

Our tree has both white and colored lights! There are 3 strands...one strand of colored lights, one strand of 'twinkling' white lights and one set of a very slow 'flashing' (different kind of a twinkling) lights...

DH likes colored lights on a tree, I like red and white together, so we compromised. The tree looks GREAT with both colored & white together

This year our indoor tree is Warm with white, yellow, and orange lights. Our outdoor tree is Peppermint with red and white. The outdoor display stays up until St. Valentine's Day.

There is a tree in a front window of a house in a nearby town that is done in red and clear lights and it is beautiful.

clear/white lights on the christmas tree.....i think they really showcase the ornaments the best.

i did put some colored lights in some large plants/trees inside the house though.

I think the white lights are elegant so that's what I have on my main tree in the entryway. I have a kitchen tree, which is decorated with food only related ornaments, so it's more fun and whimsical. That one rocks the very bright colored lights. Outside I also use the multi-colored bright lights because I like how festive they look, and they really show up.
