My husband likes the big old fashioned colored bulbs and since he hangs them, he gets his choice. I used to prefer white lights, but the colored ones look good, too.

So I think for this first year we'll probably settle on just doing the porch and I'll try to convince him to do more next year. FWIW I'm OCD - the other kind, Obsessive Christmas Disorder - so I'd go all out Griswald if I had the option. :wink: looch on "Do you hang holiday lights outside?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hang-holiday-lights-outside#post-1949734 Tue, 18 Nov 2014 17:39:08 +0000 looch 1949734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All the credit goes to my husband for the lights. i never even knew something like that existed, lol.
