BTW, anybody know where a goy can get a little menorah?


--- Quote ---I used to really like the all-white look, but I think it's been overdone. I did see one all-white house I thought was pretty original because, it emphasized different textures: icicles and regular lights and little snowflake-shaped lights, strategically placed.

Have to admit I'm far from tired of it. My "ideal" is a house with white icicle lights on the gables and eaves, the shrubbery wrapped in white lights, and single white candles in each window.  :)


--- Quote ---For tree lights, I'm kind of sick of those ordinary little lights you get at Walgreen's or Target, but they're so cheap and readily available they're hard to resist.

Heh, those light sets are so cheap you can practically buy them new every year and throw 'em away after the holidays.  :-\

Kelda:
1) Do you put up lights? Why or why not?

I love lights. So yes, I do. I have a small set outdoors nd lots on my tree and a set draped across my coffee table.

2) What do you like and dislike in other people's light displays? What are your favorite colors of lights?

Plain white,not sparkling just on all the time. Lovely!

3) Do you drive around and look at lights at this time of the year?

Sometimes

4) How do you plug the outside ones in? (I've always wondered about this because some of my homes have not had outdoor outlets.)

I don't think outdoor outlightd are common at all here. In fat I know noone with outside power. For the small set of lights, the wire fits under the front door.

5) Do you like those big old-fashioned bulbs? (I noticed HerrKaiser mentioned that he does, in the Christmas quiz, and I do too.)

I dont even know what you mean here? Pictures?

Etc.

BTW, the title of this topic is in honor of my younger son. When he was about three and we were driving at night around the holidays, he would see some fancy light display and cry out to his older brother, "Lights, [name of older son], lights!"

the smaller lights (sometimes known as "twikle lights") are in a strand, and are already in the "sockets" when you get them and plug them in, very small lights.






The "old fashioned" Christmas lights are colored bulbs you have to twist into sockets, are are usually the size of  a "night light" often used in a child's bedroom.

Kelda:
aha! Thankyou Chuck!!

CellarDweller:
