Good evening all a question for you all what colour lights, do you put on your Christmas tree? warm white, bright white, multicoloured? Or do you not have lights on it at all? Am thinking going multi coloured this year a hark back to the past.

Multicoloured every time. The same outside also.

I like a warm white, personally. I don’t mind multicoloured, but in small corners, I think. For a tree, warm white and coloured decorations.
For Indoor trees, I prefer warm white - but not too “warm and yellowy”
For outdoor trees, I have warm white in the back garden, which I can see through my sitting room patio doors and kitchen windows.
In the front garden, which I don’t see much, I wind a string of multi-coloured lights around one tall conifer and I have just bought a string of red and white lights to drape around the branches of another evergreen tree at the side of the house.
I like to see some coloured twinkling lights in the gardens as I walk along the street but would not want to look at those garish coloured lights for too long at a time.
We put a mix of red, blue and green lights on our tree.
I don’t mind,I have a mixture of different lights, I don’t have a tree now, I made it into a stair garland.

Only do multicoloured, but as that’s only four colours, I add a string of white, another of magenta (A red-blue colour) and cyan (blue-green). I would add a warm white, but I’m struggling to get them all on the tree and the same time.
Looks very cosy Pauline .

I have some of these Strala lights from Ikea, they change colour every few seconds and look very impressive on the tree

I remember the days when if one solitary bulb on the Christmas tree blew then the whole set would go out.
Much fumbling and mumbling and heaven help you if you didn’t have a spare fuse bulb!

Oh my Lord forgot that my Dad used to mumble as he checked rechecked and then one would go as they went on the tree.

Blimey! Is it time to get the lights up already…
I don`t put decorations up at all,so no lights needed.
I did when i had the children at home,but not now.
We have a green tree with fibre optic lights and red berries. It looks great because the colours change from red to green to silver to gold etc. not up yet though.
I remember those days too - I have a feeling Mum or Dad used to use a folded foil milk bottle top to bridge the connection between the blown light bulb in the string - does that make sense? Or is my memory faulty too?!

I usually wait until Christmas week to put up outdoor lights and Christmas Eve to put up a real fir tree but we have had some early Christmas celebrations with family this year, before they go off travelling to sunnier climes for the Winter , so we put up an artificial Christmas tree and some indoor and outdoor lights early this year.
I am rather enjoying the cosy feel of the early Christmas lights this year.
I think our Reindeer has been partying a bit too much already, judging by all the party streamers caught up on his antlers!

It makes sense Boot although I don’t remember my parents getting a little bit handy with the tin foil.
Pifco lights, non LED and the lovely resinous smell of a Norway Spruce.
Glass baubles too!
