For those who put up christmas trees or just lights, what kind do you prefer? I am strictly a solid white lights gal, because I don't want them to detract from the ornaments. I wonder what is most popular?

Whatever I'm in the mood for each year
Those fancy lights that go from solid to blinking to fading, etc.
Re: NTTGPR: Christmas Tree Lights Poll
My Chart
We have a little music box you connect the lights to and it plays Christmas songs and the lights blink in unison. We've had that thing for YEARS, and now that I host I have to use it, like my family would disown me if I don't. It's tradition! When it's just DH and I, it's solid clear lights.

I hate the strands that have a ton of colors. I don't mind the ones that only have two or maybe three colors for outside. Like red, green, and blue or blue and white.
I also only like the small bulbs. The big ones look gaudy.
Once kids are involved we will switch back to exterior and interior colored lights. I found plain white so boring when I was a kid.
Blinking lights would give me a damn seizure.

7/3: Metabolic clinic gave the green light to TTC - holy crap!
I also in no way 'theme' my trees. We have a few cheap filler ornaments (I get rid of some every year as we collect more), but I like to use ones that H and I collect over the years, plus some from my mom and my grandmother.
