Damn the icicle lights. I say damn them all.

It seemed that for a few years in my neighborhood all the homes were decorated with white icicle lights. white, whats up with WHITE. It didn't look like Christmas at all, it just looked like a really well lit house/neigborhood.

I say bring on the color, the crazier and more overboard the better.

My wife's cousin covers his house with lights & uses icicle lights in an interesting way: he bunches them up so the icicles are right next to each other, making a bar of white or blue light along his gutters.

Personally I like multicolored C-7s outside, ceramic bulbs used as outlines with "jewel tone" bulbs in zig-zags or "X"es through the middle; and on the tree I put 1/2 a dozen strings of multicolored lights, with large bubble lights along the bottom, small bubblers around the middle, and various specialty lights & light up ornaments mixed in throughout.
