Take it from a 59yo womyn, "traditional" Christmas lights were always colored! Boring white lights didn't start until the early '90s with the icicle lights... I vote with Danni! 😉 The colored lights should also be adjustable so you don't have to have the multi-flashing mode... My lights can actually be programmed to be white or colored, so you can alternate 🤗

The live tree must be misted with water often and daily besides watering and feeding its roots... for it to have any chance of surviving inside your hot and dry heated narrowboat. That's how all of my childhood's six feet tall blue spruce Christmas trees survived indoors... and transplanting. Seriously. By the way, Danni's colorful lights look festive (much better than the white ones) and traditional! The proximity of the "ridiculously hot" wood burning stove to the tree is its enemy. Trust me on this. Happy Christmas

I am old enough that as a kid, we originally had a spinning tree made of tinsel with a rotating color wheel (example see: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZHdhuJWmmdm2cso.html ), then later had a fake green tree but only had c7 bulbs available for the lights. I agree with Joe though that the white Xmas tree lights look more traditional. As an adult I have had multi-colored lights in the past, but Danni's lights seem to overpower the small space and their flashing makes it look painful to the eye on film. Sorry, Danni.
