I always have the white ones up in my living room throughout the year, I like the way they look and the ambience they add to the room. The blue probably not so much, but it's your house/lights so if you like them, keep them up for as long as you want.
These are on the balcony. I live in an apartment complex so I don't want to be the odd one. I have blue lights and white twinkle lights mixed together. Too sad to take them down! I love lights!

They are considered christmas lights, use the same rules, but then after feb/march put them up again without being branded.


What's the "rule"?

The rule depends on how judgmental/shallow/gossipy people around you are, but if it is just the color on what would otherwise be put on a Christmas tree then they can be called that.

You can, of course, ignore the rules, but it all depends on you and your community. You live in the Northeast right? NYC? I think they care more about that than say Central Florida or Arizona. Some people dont care at all, it just depends.

I live upstate New York. I could just copy what everyone else is doing!! I know the one neighbor took down everything!! A lot of people haven't yet though. I'm not taking my holiday wreath down and doormat until my winter ones come in the mail tomorrow! I'm a little obsessed with decorating now that I live alone!

Well I was told by one person I have until December 6th, the three kings day. The 12 days of Christmas is not before, it's actually after. Another lady who is 93 says the Bible says January 9th.
If these people are using these types of references, lean towards the conservative side and take it down.

Well these people are my brother and my parents neighbor who's like a grandmother to me lol neither live in my city. Both Christian too. So I don't think their input represents the majority, nor the minority. I think it's very diverse here.

My gf wanted to decorate all the house with white christmas lights...

I said..."only over my dead body...."

.....

I bought her more then 50 candles instead 🙂

My colleagues joked with me all day long at work cuz of that haha still..worth it ^^
lol so you prefer scented candles? Bet your house smells great! Why did you not want Christmas lights? Too much work to put up?
