"Less is very much more, and lights should be only white or off-white with at most a gentle fade-in fade-out. "They should be representative of the stars - which I don't think are neon pink, purple, blue or green - and whatever … [Read more...] about You’re common if you have a fake Christmas tree, decorate with tinsel or wear matching PJs, etiquette expert claims
