What colors do you use at Christmas time? LGBT?

I use to use just blue and oh it's so pretty with the big type bulbs, then I changed to white and it looks nice too. I'm wondering if I should use all colors this year for the gay community pride that I have. I haven't had lights like that in years. What do you or how do you decorate? Any Tips



Love Granny GumWhat colors do you use at Christmas time? LGBT?I use white lights and I like to use red, green, gold and silver bulbs, and I have a few little ornaments that I've gotten over the past few years with my kids.



I have an awesome Christmas village that I love but haven't been able to put up in the past few years because of my kids and animals and I don't want it destroyed.

I use all the colours.



In fact, I decorate my tree so that the fading bulbs can be spread out evenly by colour and provide a continuous cycle of varying colour combinations.



There are six colours, by the way. A lot of people don't know this: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Just FYI.

I use whit bulbs, but I tend to decorate with traditional green and red but I might decorate this year with browns and tans they really are being appealing
That would look very nice. Myself, I pick a different color theme each year. One year it's purple and silver, red and gold, blue and silver etc. I think decorations should reflect you and how you feel. If you want to show your pride this year, go for it. You could get maybe a silver tree, put the rainbow bulbs on it, or maybe have a color-wheel underneath that changes to all the colors of the rainbow.
I think if you do one color after another and not just 5 and then change colors it'd look better. Then again, it's your style



Happy holidays!
Red and Green are traditional.



Gold and Red look nice.



White can add a festive touch.



I always think that traditional, tasteful, but still beautiful decorations make it feel much more Christmassy than more garish displays
What's with all this Obama c^rap being posted still on these message boards?



The elections are long over.



Get on with your life



Now back to the question.



Last year I started using all the color.
On the tree in the living room, blue and silver ornaments and beads with blue lights that stay on and white lights that twinkle and periodically dim so the true is only blue lights for a few seconds.



The tree in the den has multi-colored lights and an assortment of ornaments.



Outside, white lights on the small spruce trees and red and green lights on the holly bushes.
I don't get into the Christmas spirit anymore, but when I did my preferred colours were blue and purple. They may not be stereotypically Christmassy, but they're very pretty together.
I usually keep it simple and just use a few colors either on separate strands or a maximum of two colors on the same strand. Red and white look really nice together (like a candy cane theme). Blue and white looks nice too (like a winter wonderland theme...it especially looks great if you incorporate some lighted grapevine snowmen).



I have some great strands of red/white lights (on the same strand) that have different light patterns. They look really great on small bushes! There's this one light pattern I always use where it looks like the bushes are changing colors. They fade from red to white and back again!
