Whilst over my wife's brother's house last night, we got into a discussion about an interesting (or, at least I thought so) topic ... Christmas lights. The more we discussed it, the more it became obvious ... the women absolutely loved the white lights - they felt these lights give the Christmas tree, as well as the outside part of the house a bit of elegance.
Of course, the little kids like the multi-colored lights ... and, ironically, the men in the house also favored the multi-colored lights. Of course, one can draw the conclusion that the reason for this is because boys never really "grow up."
Personally, I'm ok with white lights (heck, I like lights), but yes, I do like multi-colored lights ... and, I'll take it a step further - I like the big, multicolored lights. My mom placed these on the bushes outside of the house annually when I was growing up, and I guess I've never outgrown that.
Of course, obnoxious snow globes might be going a little too far.

Big, multi-colored lights like at the Griswold house?
KIDS... COME ON OUT AND LOOK AT THE LIGHTS!
Blinking or not?
I must agree. The BIG multi-color lights always captivated me more than any others, and still to this day, remind me more of Christmas than any others. You rarely see those anymore, though.
I like the blue lights. For some reason it makes me think of a cool, wintry xmas.
color, need color
I like the new whiteish bluish lights. I HATE blow up decorations.
Not only is it impossible to find the monstrous mutli-colored bulbs, but now I'm starting to see more and more of these new-fangled LED christmas lights everywhere! What's next, solar powered Chhristmas lights??
