Sometimes I crack myself up, but I think I was a little ingenious with this one;)
I couldn't decide whether I wanted white lights or colored lights in our main tree this year. Now I know that most of you prim folk out there only use white, but when you have four little ones, sometimes you gotta give!
So this is where a little brainstorming helped me to come up with such a wonderful idea!
Luckily in the house we are currently living, we have an outlet where one receptacle is controlled by a light switch and the other is not. I decided to run all my white lights on an extension cord in one receptacle and all my colored lights in the other receptacle controlled by the lightswitch.
And voila ~
Some nights we choose white and the other nights color! I love it cause they both create such a different mood in the room. So when it's time to turn on the tree we base it on what mood we want to create that night:)
And when we want it really bright, we light up the place with both!
What color lights do you use on your Christmas tree?

Ha!!!! That's so awesome. What fun. You are a genius. Your tree is so pretty. -Steph-
I never would have thought of that! So now you have two different trees. I have always used the white, but love the colored ones.
What a great idea! I opted for a little color this year and added blue snowflakes to one of our trees. I will have to remember your idea next year. Take care, Janice
You started something Lori!!! Now everyone's going to have two different sets of lights on their tree. I like both. I have 2 trees with white lights and 2 trees with colored!!!! Now, I don't have big trees. They're just 3/4ft trees!!!!! Love the cookie cutters. Love your outside lights. Congrats on winning Barb's giveaway and the other one in your post!!!!
Merry Christmas!!!
