I was REALLY frustrated when I took 3 strings of lights out of the boxes and they were dead.

Possibly it was my cultured southern upbringing, but a single tree decorated in white is about as gauche as acceptable. White candles in windows, are de rigueur, however.

Doesn't matter to me, but I will never get over the new guy, from New Jersey, that bathed his house in blue lights. If Jimi had seen it, one of my favorite songs would have had a different title.
You don't hate Yankees, but you have no problem publicly stereotyping...

Maybe the northerners do this to distract from their southerner neighbors who leave their kids toys out in the front yard all year round, have had a truck up on blocks in the driveway for 10 months and who sit on their front porch on the seats from said truck!

One good stereotype deserves another!
