It should be illegal to put anything except multi-colored lights on a Christmas tree. You’re all-white tree isn’t “elegant” or “classy.” On the contrary, Christmas is supposed to be festive, a celebration, not “elegant” or “classy.”

While we're at it we should bring back the pagan rituals and rename it to Yule.

Mcgruff  again we disagree. It's all about the lyrics and the soul

I like the ending but the four minute beginning is just a snooze fest.  The song takes forever to build up.

That is a great opener Mike..

Damn straight! And apparently it’s an unpopular opinion bc every single person I know hates colored lights and they all have an all white fucking tree & all say the same shit. “It just looks prettier.”  No, it looks fucking plain & boring.

To me it’s coloured lights for interior or exterior trees / decorating, but I stand alone in my family on that topic.

I'm with you.  All-white is lame.  It was a trend maybe 5 to 10 years ago...we're moving back to color, but some folks still have white lights lingering.  You can go all red, all yellow, all blue, only two colors, etc.  But no all-white.

We have all-white lights and it sucks. Sooo boring.

I have never and will never ever put anything but white lights on a Christmas tree, lol. And not modern blue-white ones. Just the nice warm white. I think it looks so nice, and is timeless, not trendy (or untrendy). I don't care if it's elegant or classy. I simply think it's prettiest and makes me feel best when I look at it.

I like ice cubes in my red wine. 

No you don't. That's crazy talk. Please don't tell us that you also refrigerate your red wines!

You are actually supposed to chill your red in a fridge before opening. 

It seems that you are correct: https://vinepair.com/wine-101/right-temperature-serve-every-type-wine/

(Although my father-in-law, who was born in rural Italy, would disagree.)

"ice cold" is 50-60 degrees?
And the article says most people are wrong in thinking that red wine is served room temperature, it should be 60-70 degrees. Well, isnt room temperature usually about 70 (for me its usually about 65 year round, except in the summer its about 70)?
So based off this, most people are correct to serve red wine at room temp.
*just saw others posted the same comments! sorry.

Why would you use a band like that... and a bow on the top. Haha. Still better than a multicolored chaos though.

Do you not use garland - or a similar band of decorative trim - in Sweden? It’s common in the US.
