#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Depends on the house, but I have always preferred either plain old white/clear, or that darkish gold/yellow colour.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And nothing that twinkles or whirls or spins...#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Angry/1.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Multicolour, definitely. I just bought the new LED lights and can't wait to put them up &amp; plug them in. This weekend for sure!&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I like the multi-coloured strands.&nbsp; The smaller ones on bushes, the big ones on the house.&nbsp; I do NOT like the light "nets" as they look TOO perfect.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I LOVE christmas lights adn will put up TONS!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I like white, especially on a tree.&nbsp; I don't mind twinkles as long as they're slow. lol#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#BR#ed_cl#I think multi-coloured looks great outdoors, especially when it has snowed and it disperses the light in a soft glow.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#on the tree I like the clear/white lights, with nice decorations, nothing tacky... We usually put lace on the tree and then classic looking decorations. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#On the outside I like the white icicle lights#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#White/plain. Goes with everything and always looks classy.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hate the multicoloured old ones that are faded with peeling paint, bleh! Also hate the people who turn them on all year long or put them up and turn them on right after Thanksgiving.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#&nbsp;#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My Aunt's neighbour kept her yard in ongoing Christmas deco mode all year round (lights, jingle bells doorbell, waving elves and santa sleigh) -she got death threats.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

The old owners left them there. My bf saw the cord dangling the other day and found the lights all through the tree so we got an extention cord and plugged it in. So we have one tree that is all lit up lol#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I go for the small white lights! Sometimes the blue, but ONLY white on the tree! But my tree is full of nice decorations, so when the kids get older they will have their own tree and can decorate it the way they want to.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
