I've been outvoted in favour of clear lights.
I got warm white ones before but they just didn't look as nice as the fairy lights.
Boo! I have warm white and I think they look really nice, had fairy lights one year and they all broke.
Now admittedly they were helped in this by the cat 3 sets chewed, the LED ones he currently seems unable to harm 0 -

I got one from Argos a few years ago it was cheap and cheerful but for an artificial tree it shed like crazy and last year it looked so miserable.
I'm forking out for an expensive one this year. I'm forking out for it as its something I want. My partner doesn't mind the withered one but I hate it now haha.0 -

Buy which ever ones you like. Loads of people on here have said they either prefer pennys decorations or most have bought them when they are starting off in a new home. You can always start a tradition of picking up one or two nice expensive decorations with your OH every year and build on it ! some of my nicest and most expensive decorations were bought in tye sales for less than a third of their original price in the January sales or towards the very end of Christmas to be used the next year ! 
Also be worth while looking at homestore and more they usually sell some nice bits half price in December. But they sell out super fast !0 -

that's such a shame ! I bought mine the first year I moved in wother Mr glitzgirl ( and was shocked to learn he didn't own a single decoration never mind a tree !). Bought mine in argos, have it about 9 years now and it's still my favourite tree looks fab every year ! 0 -

I bought a tree in Argos a few years ago and tbh it's grand still. Buy the best one you can afford, and make sure to take care putting it away. And I'm a big fan of Penneys for baubles. You can get a big massive "tube" of them for like a fiver and then I'd recommend a trip to IKEA to get some other little bits. The quality in Penneys these days is actually great. You can always make some simple things too to bulk it up. And get some cheapo candy canes in the pound shop to hang off some of the branches too.
As much as I love Christmas a glass bauble is a blast bauble, let's be honest. Why break the bank in the likes of M&S when you really don't have to?0 -

I missed out on all that. And we probably wont have snow where we're going for Christmas because there's never snow in the south so I'd like some snow from the 27th onwards please. I do remember it snowing on New Year's Eve that year (I think it was that year) and that was great. I was a bit sick (and we generally stay in for New Years anyway) so we were at home in our jammies when we noticed the snow outside. I believe it was a bit of a nightmare for people to get home from town that night but I was having great fun in the garden in my jammies! 0 -

It was mad! We went into a pub, no snow, came out, couldn't walk. There were people sitting on the path crying because they couldn't walk, people falling everywhere. Blood on the paths. Fights over taxis. It took us four hours to walk from Christchurch area to heuston station. My gran lives near there and brought us blankets and tea etc. I kept insisting I wasn't cold but she insisted on turning in the electric heater. All of a sudden the cold hit me and I couldn't get close enough to it! 0
