We got our first new tree in about 30 years. This one is prelit and we can change the color combinations. I always wanted white lights and Steve wanted multicolored. I’m amazed how much I like the multi color with some twinkling lights after 30 years of white lights. We also did a color coordinated tree for the last several years and this year we went back to our traditional family ornaments. It was a walk down memory lane seeing ornaments from our vacations and kid’s activities etc. This tree means more to me the color coordinated one need. I guess I’m getting older and wiser. 🙂 What color lights do you put on your tree? Do you do a color coordinated tree or a traditional tree? Can’t wait to hear what you have to say about this.
