Do you like the colored ones or the clear white ones?
I put all of my white lights (strings, reindeer and various figures...) on my front lawn
The colored lights and figures i put out in the backyard
It looks cute but a bit tacky imo
I got a ton of colored lights from a family member who was moving...if its free its for me!
I prefer white lights for the holidays....
What do you all do?
The colored lights are tacky when overdone. Great to use when wanting something to stand out, "pop."
My family traditionally uses colored lights, mostly for our Christmas tree and sparingly for outside walkway trims and house molds. We do use white lights too but not as often. It really depends on what kind of decorations we decide to place for the year. A lot of it has to do with living in Florida, where it hardly ever snows to cover nature. So the multi-colors make for better foreground in my opinion.Believe me, we have a lot of decorations, Shogie.
We're very fond of displaying Santa Clause figurines, or at least I am, that stand about 1 foot tall (0.3 meters) each. They are made out of quality materials, cloth comprised of fine silk. They look wonderful with white lights surrounded by their colorful robes. They too, like most of our Christmas collection, are family heirlooms passed down through the generations. There's a strong sense of continuity with the passage of time, a reminder of things to look forward to in spite of uncertainty.
Sounds like you have it figured out twin...i should have expected as much!
PS: I really admire your sense of family
You always show your true colors when you speak of your family
You are a splendid fellow.
I talk about them a lot, don't I? It's only because they drive me crazy, in a good way, and I don't know where I would be without them.
In between your kids, significant other, in-laws, and your garage bunker, I can see why you have such a zany personality. I think you come by it naturally. You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

I think the white lights look very elegant outside. I like the multi-colored lights on the tree.
shareI guess i prefer the white ones...elegant is a good word for it
I might go as far as to say classy...
My wife and kids love the colored ones so I go along with the program...the backyard looks like a circus lol but I just shut up and keep the peace๐
I prefer white, but wait....what? You put colored lights and figures in your BACK yard? What's up with that?
Who will see them back there?

I prefer white lights, but it pisses me off when a neighborhoods bans colored lights. Has anyone else experienced this? It can be both official and unofficial in my experience.
