Oh, just a co-worker who seems to have had his sense of wonder and excitement beaten out of him when he was a child.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Re: White lights or colored?
I saw luminaria for the first time when I lived in TX back in the early '80s. Now they are more common in other parts of the country. They are magical! I had them for a number of years myself, but the electric light sculptures I started putting up a few years ago sort of "drown" them out. I think you have to choose whether to do electric lights or candlelight.Belladonna wrote:Yes. And here there are luminaries too. Those are gorgeous to see around all these old Victorians around here.

I'm giving serious thought to not putting up a single decoration, or lighting a single light this year. I honestly can't remember the last time I felt so Bah Humbug about Crimbo......

But I still love him!
I did NOT react well to the news that my mother had been "lying" to me all those years... She still jokes that it's the reason I ended up an atheist...

Yeah..... no... no, I don't think I'll be doing any of that. Especially the tinsel.
But ESPECIALLY the dancing.

Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Re: White lights or colored?
We got the 9-footer up at work and the 7-foot goes up at home this weekend.
The 'ledge' tree sits behind the front desk and fills in a blank space on that wall.
I work at a very old-fashioned company. We fly the American flag year round...and this is northern California. SF Bay area no less!

Re: White lights or colored?
It's fun. There are cookies at the front desk and the price of a cookie is to hang one ornament.
Works every year.

Re: White lights or colored?
Although blue lights are not my favorite, except when it snows they look beautiful, blue LED lights are pretty cool. The color is very intense, almost a slight purplish hue. One of my neighbors has his front porch decorated with blue and white LED lights and it's pretty striking.

Re: White lights or colored?
Hi sueluvshalloween, I love the purplish colored lights. My husband will let me put them up inside but not outside, if I had my way they'd be all purple all year long, but he thinks everyone would think he's gay or something. I told him I love gay guy's but he didn't buy it!! Ha Ha Ha ( and I do have some gay friends, and their great!!)
