White or Multi?

[alicia45]

We've already had the debate of real v fake trees, so the next question is... white or multi lights?

I love white!

Your turn!

[alicia45]

Trudy... I made this post for you!

[TrudyCampbell]

White 4 life.

Although! In my perfect world, I'll have two trees. Fancy white light tree in my formal living room, casual colored light tree filled with family memory ornaments in my family room.

Ha, I just answered this in your other thread!

I love white but will be having a white tree with red/white/silver ornaments and a tree with coloured lights with all our sentimental ornaments.

[honeybee503]

Currently we have white. We had multi growing up. I don't really have much of a preference.

LIVIN THE DREAM.

Mutli-coloured with family ornaments that mean something to us! It's all hodgepodge but I love it and I love unpacking each ornament because they all tell a story.

ETA:  I also insist on a crazy number of lights in varying sizes, arranged evenly throughout the tree, inside and out.

I love white lights, but I grew up with colored lights and my favorite thing in the world is sitting in the room with the color tree lights on at night. So I have to have color lights on the tree. I do white lights outside of the house.

[AndyCohen]

Both! I do two strands of white and two strands of Multi on our tree.

This is our setup exactly. We have a fake tree in our formal loving room with white lights and purple and silver decorations and multicolored in the family room with family ornaments. 

[nannerl]

White. Our ornaments are colorful enough!

[kkfeb04]

Our real tree is multi with sentimental ornaments. The two front porch trees are fake with white lights and red ornaments.

[katie]

I like all white lights but grew up with multi colors. Our tree now is a mix of ornaments with the white lights and I love it.

[jnoellee]

White!! Although, I would do what my kids wanted. If they had a preference.

[breezy8407]

White.

I want to graduate to a place in life with two trees. One for kids ornaments, sentimentals, and "fun" things. The other a very much designed theme tree.

[jnoellee]

My tree is all gold, bronze, silver, red and maroon ornaments and bows

[lolaburns]

All white!

This.  But since the dream has not yet been realized, we do white lights with family ornaments.

Ditto.  :^)

[irishsara]

I love white usually, but have multi on our tree and I have grown to love them!

Exactly this for me too

This! I sometimes do white, red, and green strands instead of multi but never just white.

[bean47]

All white. I grew up with colored but strongly prefer white. My H would probably be happiest with blinking colored lights...not happening.

Ditto.

@andycohen's post reminded me of what a psycho I am about lights. I hate visible wires, so I tightly wrap each branch and then double back. It takes so many hours and strands of lights (I think last year S calculated that there were something like 2500 bulbs on our tree), and after I'm covered in pine pitch and scratches. Clark Griswold would be proud.

[teamhayes]

We do white but growing up wevdud colored

My gramma always did blue

[teamhayes]

We have 2 fake tabketop trees we put in each boys room with their ornaments

They love them

[katfco]

I always prefer multicolored. White always seems too Martha-Stewart-department-store perfect for me. It's decorative, not festive.

[kcsp910]

Colored lights here too, and that is what I grew up with. We're thinking about converting to white lights this year but haven't decided yet.

[pinkpeony6210]

We have a prelit tree with white lights, however, I'm not opposed to multi-colored.

We have one of each! White lights in the den and colored on the sun porch

How is the sun porch tree? We are considering a tree this year, but due to cats the tree will need to stay in the sun room. Ours is unheated, but has lovely double doors to the family room so we would have a great view.
