Here is a slightly different post today. Looking at the outdoor Christmas lights throughout my neighborhood reminds me of a Christmas eve family tradition from when I was growing up. After every Christmas eve mass, my family would drive through the neighborhood and view the outdoor Christmas lights and luminaires lined along the streets. I was always struck by the beauty of it all. My favorite Christmas lighting has always been the clear lighting. It appears so sleek and classy, in my opinion. Take a look at some lighting ideas for inspiration (and a couple of over-the-top "what were they thinking?" looks)...
Borderline...
"Over the top" (in my opinion)...
What lighting style do you prefer? How do you light the outside of your home at Christmas?

I like the first one, I am very understated in my decorating and, being English, we don't tend to decorate outside we just do inside but I wish we did do the outside as it looks so pretty!!

Loveeee - this makes me want to go searching for Christmas lights. But I hate to say San Diego is very little in the spirit with our beachy thing going on! :) My parents never put up Christmas lights and I totally understand how it's an expense & hassle. However with the years of traveling & moving from apartment to apartment, I think once we do buy a house that we will probably go Christmas-crazy!!!! :)
