I cannot stand the new primary colored LED Christmas lights. They are hideous and that blue... yuck! Makes me want to claw my own eyes out.
And don't even get me started on how they have absolutely ruined plain white lights.
FAIL.

#2 (boy) - sixteen - football player, golfer, loves to throw a ball into the air, especially in the living room near the breakables; nothing is ever his fault; has soft, sweet eyes of a baby deer; seeing him hold a baby is the sweetest thing ever.

oh AMEN sister!!!!!
i have always loved plain clear/white lights, the ones with proper bulbs, not these LED things. i made the mistake last year of buying white LED lights instead of getting replacement bulbs - BIG mistake. LED is just too harsh and not at all meditative! i have rectified that this year and once i get myself organised enough to decorate, i'm really looking forward to being able to gaze at my gentle tree and ponder the real and deeper meaning of christmas without having my retinas burned out!!!
Amen and ditto!!
They look cold and uninviting. Another reason i am sick of all the hoo-ha of Christmas. Let's get back to basics! Jewish people do not seem to have lost the significance of Hanukkah after far more years than we've been doing Christmas. How have we lost it so quickly?
I couldn't agree more. I hate them too. Two thumbs down!
YES! I agree with all of the above!
