As far as Christmas tree lights go, do you prefer twinkling or steady lights? I think twinkling lights are obnoxious myself. Maybe I had some bad childhood experience that I'm repressing, but just the same, I can't stand them.
Yeah the twinkling ones are out of style. Can easily make you throw the tree through a window if you keep it on long enough.
Steady. And no horrible colours. You can look good and still have some christmas cheer about the place without turning your house into an 80s disco
