December weather brings about many things: colder weather, gloves, hats, scarves, winter coats, but most importantly, Christmas. I have never been more excited to decorate than I was this year. My boyfriend and I adventured out shopping last week and bought an ample amount of Christmas decorations. We bought our first tree and assorted ornaments to go with it. The one squabble we came across, however, was a dispute over colored or white lights. Growing up with my family we always had colored lights on the tree. My boyfriend, on the other hand, always had white. As you can probably guess we both wanted the opposite of what we grew up with. I let him win this one. We have colored light on our first tree. Personally I think white lights on prettier.
