I found this list from a blog that I read every day and I LOVE it. I'm going to attempt to answer one question a day. Here's the list, and then my answer (and i'll try to find a photo to go along, too).

Question #1 Colored or white lights on my house? Actually neither. We don't usually do outside lights, however this year my DH said he wants to get some for the shrubs. We have to go shopping for that, however. I'm not sure I want them. I wouldn't mind some lights around the doorframe. We do alternating colored or white lights on the actual Christmas tree, which you can see from the front of the house. I'll have to search around for a photo, but I'll let you know what we decide for this year.
