I may be sad, tired ...maybe even a bit bitter but I can still remember being a kid riding around at Christmas time after dark and thinking all the houses you just "X'd" were the greatest and the tasteful ones were pretty but boring. If I can find the strength to toss a net of multi color bulbs over a shrub and plug in a Santa it's for the kiddos, not you, not me. We only have to look at it for a few weeks and I promise I'm the first one to take it down!
WICKED TACKY
LOVE ❤️ IT
Thanx So Much!!!
Love this video, keeping Christmas classy. However, I would respectfully suggest that every neighborhood needs at least one homeowner that goes all out Christmas-crazy with the outdoor lighting and decorating. It just makes Christmas a little more fun and interesting for the kids and the kids at heart!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I totally agree!
As long as it isn't MY house and yard!😄
Somebody's got to be Chevy Chase: Lampoon's Christmas Vacation!
@@jodycourt Yes!😄
We are in 2023 , climate change and green energy .... save the planet , go small and beautifful
Lisa is absolutely right - The single light color, very classy homes are stunning and beautiful. Yet, the multi color light extravaganzas and crazy decorations are just FUN. I've seen beautiful neighborhoods with all straight, perfect, classy lights and... BORING! Live a little! Enjoy whatever style you love and go for it!
Agree! All white is classy and elegant but multicolor is fun and that’s what it’s all about for me.
Our family Christmas is centered around memories, colored lights on the house is a personal memory for me. I think too many people have their personalities buried in "fads and fashion". I don't think a decorator should decide for me what Christmas should look like.
💯
Wow. Giving her recommendations as a designer with lots of followers who come to her for advice is NOT "deciding for you". Take what you find helpful and leave the rest. Using a simplified pallet has been going on for as long as I can remember: my step-mother designed in the same way fifty years ago. As a child I did enjoy the multi-colored lights, but now I find white twinkle lights on a green tree to be both beautiful and soothing after a long, hectic, day. It's a real holiday for my eyes.
Amen, Jean!!!
I agree. I am a child of the 60s. I LOVE colored lights! Single colors do not say Christmas to me. Same for the tree. No clear lights.
She’s doing her job and creating content for people interested in design and aesthetics. CLEARLY, your sentimental decor is not about aesthetics. Why bother giving her a hard time when you know you’re not who this video is for?
In your bathroom you can do the little fingertip towels with embroidered holly or little trees. My grandmother had them and everyone said she had excellent taste.
Totally agree. I have a whole assignment of Xmas fingertip towels for the powder room. I also switch out my heart shaped wreath for a Christmas one.
Sorry, Ms. Lisa, but I'm sticking with my 1960-ish multicolor c9 lights on my roof edge. They and my door wreath are all that's going on outside, so maybe that qualifies as edited. Other than that and some guest hand towels with poinsettias embroidered at the bottom, I'm in complete agreement with your list. Of course, even when I don't think your list is perfect, I absolutely think you are!
Awww you guys gotta do you! This vid is for ppl who are just tarting out, and don't know how to do something for them...
@@LisaHoltDesign LOL. Not sure if "tarting out" is a typo or intentional.😂
I got a big smile when you pointed out a simple wreath of red berries. I just bought the exact same wreath for my front door last week. I live in a suburb with lots of elders and very young families. No one is going to be cruising around at night looking at Christmas lights. We're going to be eating dinner early and then getting ready for a nice winter's sleep. I'm going to skip outdoor lighting altogether and limit myself to the one very beautiful wreath. It says Christmas with happy dignity, which I love. It's enough.
I agree, though I still like my old fashioned multi colored lights along the roof of my flat roofed ranch house. They are the only lights outside and suit the age of the house. I also use multi colored lights on my tree because they match my decorations (all different) I’ve collected over the years. I know these things aren’t trending but I like a folksy vibe.
I hope I'm never so "grown up" that all of these make sense. Too many lights, too many colors, lots of elements, decor in every room-all incredibly joyful to me and many. Who cares about trends and being fashionable at Christmas!?! I won't wear bells to mass or an ugly sweater, but if someone has inflatable Snoopy Santa and Frosty to bring some smiles then bring it on!
Aw, Lisa - don't be such a Grinch! I love these gawdy expressions of joy and enthusiasm and am grateful to those making the effort to share them. 🎄
I'm so glad!
There is a divide among commenters here on the outdoor decorations. I like the multi-colored lights. I can handle the dense displays (on people's homes), especially if it's only lights. I think the point is that you stand for a while and look at all the 'themes'. I do not like inflatables, though.
There is a house I drive past regularly that had a life-like death and cemetery theme for Halloween, including skeletons on their knees praying. And now they have cutesy inflatables for Christmas! LOL, what a contrast.
As a child of the 70's, I love multi-colored C bulbs on my tree, but only on Christmas day, and maybe a day or two before and after. The rest of the time, I love the classic warm white lights, and minimal decor which could also be considered "winter decor", thus being left out long after Christmas is over. 😉
Tinsel is dangerous for animals as are many plants. I love the elegance of your suggestions!
Aren't they a microplastic? They don't break down in the environment.
I've had the same tinsel for 30 years & haven't had any pets ingest it.
My MIL of course has an orange cat with his one, orange brain cell who managed to ungest some of her tinsel every year...
He never ended up at the vet, but it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
Yes, get rid of inflatables.
I don’t think the car decorators are trying to make a Sophisticated design statement. I love it when people decorate their cars - makes me smile while driving, especially since most drivers are so rude now.
I agree with everything you said, Lisa. Inflatables look tacky and half of them "die" in front yards for various reasons which makes them look even worse. We need less plastic in this world of ours as well. Happy holidays!
Exactly. There are and will be hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of those things cluttering landfills with a portion of them winding up in waterways and the ocean. There are better ways to express the holiday spirit. Time to move on from the hackneyed look of tacky plastic inflatables and come up with some original festive yard decor.
I love colored lights, but I accepted long ago that I want color all around me and if that makes me unsophisticated so be it. My older neighborhood is filled with bright lights, inflatables, lit up deer. I love taking a walk in the cold to see it all.
I love all the suggestions except only the one light colour suggestion. I live on a street that two-thirds of the houses on the block has white lights. It starts to look very dull, and it seems like one long house. I like both options of colours and using all one colour, but IMHO, neither is better than the other just a personal taste.
You said this last year as well but I love multiple colored lights I have them on my tree and around my inside door.
Wow, BAH HUM BUG! Sounds like an HOA board/bored discussion. The colorful rainbow lit home and the monochromatic lit home - both are pretty in the drab winter! The omg light explosions & Santa bathrooms I personally wouldn’t do but as a guest, I’d appreciate the effort & smiles. It’s a short-lived creative expression meant to add joy on a dark day. 🌟
Lisa I love your ideas and thoughts but one person's tasteful is another person's boring. I love "more is more" at Christmas with outdoor lights and inflatables. We have both tasteful and tacky in our neighborhood and the cars all drive by to see the yards with lots of lights. Christmas is the time to be a child again. But I'm in full agreement with tasteful interiors. Thanks for the fun videos.
Yes, I think monochrome lights are too understated. Minimal Christmas?
We have a super sophisticated garden but we go full on vulgar outdoors for Christmas. Fun to shock the neighbors. Decorations in bathrooms….good grief!
Absolutely agree. Coloured lights just don’t give you a colour scheme. The only thing I’d add is that is nice to have a flocked tree sometimes as it’s summer here and makes me feel connected to winter Christmases. Also makes me feel cool on hot days. Merry Christmas to all. ❤
I have one of those fun neighbors with lots and lots and LOTS of lights and decorations (no matter the season) BUT for me - they have A LOT of HOLIDAY spirit !!! Those are my kind of people. Happy and fun!! 🎉 ✨🎄
This has to be the most contentious subject covered!
I'm not really into full on decorating, especially the outside, but if it brings joy and doesn't hurt the environment, Christmas is the season to be gaudy 🎅
Gaudy? Really? I thought CHRISTmas was the celebration of Christ's birth. This time of year also marks the celebration of Hannukah for Jews, Kwanzaa for Africans and even the winter solstice signaling the "return of the light." I'm trying to figure out where "gaudy" fits into any of those holiday events.🤔
@@marilynndesilva7620 summer hemisphere atheist here (with Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish religious history) ♥️
Who are we to judge the hearts and intentions those who like gaudy anyway? Can't one be light-hearted but still pure of heart? Isn't damning judgement re one's view on Christ a bit problematic?
@@z3lda808 [Sigh] Let's not turn this into a battle of opinions. Nobody's judging you or anyone else on their religious beliefs, and where did I imply that I was damning anyone or that anyone's heart is impure!? Sheesh.🙄 If you are stoked on gaudy, fine for you!, but I maintain that Christmas is not "the season to be gaudy." Anyway, all this cheap krap DOES hurt the environment both in the manufacturing and disposal.
@@marilynndesilva7620 I'm done with you. Don't comment on anything else you might ever see written, spoken, asserted, implied, etc. by me.
Take a long hard look at the energy you're putting out into the world and grow up and learn to take a light heated comment as it was intended.
Peace and love to all, and to all, a goodnight 🤣
@@z3lda808After telling me you are done and never to comment on anything you have to say, you go on a rant excoriating me. I think you are the one who is stuck in grade school mode. Bye now👋
Lol. The inflatables are great for kids’ appeal. …Tinsel is EVIL for all kinds of reasons. …The bathroom just needs a 🎄towel. …I placed rainbow lights on one of my (elderly) folks’ shrubs so, I feel… everything in moderation. …A bit confused re the red nose on the car, lol. Cheers.
My car reindeer kit just arrived yesterday. :D
I love it! Always makes me grin😃👍👍👍
@@HzFvr Me too!
@@gardenhappy4 🦌🎅💫
I live near Dyker Heights NYC the world famous, light decorated houses. Why I agree they are too much, but they bring the child out of me and make me smile every time I see it. So I am on the fence with number 10. 🎄♥️🎄
I dress up my car, I wear Xmas sweaters and T-shirt’s everyday starting the day after thanksgiving. I love Christmas and do it for the joy. Kids love it and so do adults. I spend the rest of the year decorating and dressing my self in traditional styles. This is the one time of year I celebrate Jesus and the joy of the season. I do me. And you do you.
children love to see rainbow lights at Christmas tacky or not
And inflatable unicorns!
No to inflatables. Not only are they eyesores, that fan is loud. I have my piece of pop culture that replaced my full size tree. It's a full size leg lamp on a wood crate my nephew made for me. I did purchase a tinsel tree for my kitchen table. An actual Formica chrome kitchen table with a red and white starburst pattern. Found out they make Santa hats for my Kit Cat Klock. My color choices are red and white. I make my own Christmas bows so nobody can duplicate my look. I will rehab old decor and customize it. My favorite display is my 1950s ceramics on my mom' 1960s China cupboard. Old California pottery Santa lantern, Mrs. Claus planter, and two ladies that look like White Christmas. I even display an old wooden sled on my front porch all as kids used to sled on. Add some live greenery and solar lights. It all looks tasteful despite the plastic leg in the window. I used to play the game of lets make it shine without a lot of lights. It's possible.
I also like vintage Xmas decor because I live in a vintage house. I hang a little 1950’s elf from my rear view mirror in my car too.
I rescue pixie figurines from thrift stores. The ceramic kind. I scatter them around the house as my play on the creep Elf on a Shelf. My favorite pixies hang around the swung glass collection.
@@sdelong74 that’s great! I look for ceramic figurines to put on my mosaic pots.
I'd love to see your vintage take: sounds fascinating!
The worst for me is outside net lights 😢
I agree with you however the kids think it’s rad!
Love this. All so true ! And you make everything so fun!
Thanks so much!
Nope. Those stepford white suburban front yards are depressing like the owners are trying way too hard to be a soulless Crate and Barrel brochure. The maximalist multi color acid trip yards are way more interesting and fun even if they threw up Christmas, cause seizures and transport you to 6th Street NYC Indian restaurants. You find your joy and do you.
Lisa is - as expected - offering a professional designer perspective on holiday decor, and that is welcome news (and good to know). But c'mon, the usual protocols should be tossed out the window during the holidays. The best Christmas decor should be sassy, not classy (yawn). Do whatever brings you joy.
Well said!
Christmas should be sassy? Where did that come from? 🤦🏽🤷🏽. Why would anyone want their house to look cheesy and tacky loaded up with cheap Chinese made plactic junk? How does that say Christmas?
@@katella My thoughts precisely.👍
You gave us some varied and festive ways to handle outdoors and indoors holiday decor. The bad examples were just a hoot.
Tinsel is so dangerous for cats, dogs and little kids too.
Lisaaaaaaaa, colored lights look SO MUCH prettier against the snow! And my house is white brick with black shutters! I NEED color!!!! Yes, it says candyland! It IS Christmas!
i completley DISAGREE. if you didn't you already get the memo from reading every other pillow at Hobby Lobby, the holidays are about getting cozy, lightheartedness, and having fun. nothing says "I HATE THE HOLIDAYS AND CHILDREN" more than plain white lights and sad beige stockings. it doesn't matter how precise you measure your lights, your house will be *FORGETTABLE* . nothings more wholesome than 80 year old Hank's multi-colored incandescent lights for the 30th year in a row and the cheesy inflatable Yoda he bought for his great grandkids.
I agree with everything you said on this list except for the rainbow colored lights outside. I find that the problem with high end modern Christmas design these days is the fact that it has no life, no cheer, and no reference back to nostalgic Christmas. Christmas is supposed to be whatever brings you joy. So this modern brown beige depressing Christmas decor has got to go.
imagine if everyone only decorated with clear lights!...how boring the holidays be!...I love walking with my grandkids and looking at all the fun decorations...we have the best time...imagine telling Santa..no bright color cloths lol....happy holidays everyone...
Happy holidays!
I enjoyed watching this even if I'm still going to be over the top. Lol For me, Christmas is about family, childhood spirit, and just pure joy. Mostly because it makes the kid happy.
Though I agree tinsel sucks. It NEVER leaves if you have had it one year. One year I got it because the kid liked it... *sighs* It is still around 10 years later.
To me, anything outdoor is game lol I have two kids and they love inflatable Santa 😂
Inside the house is a different story
We drive to see the crazy laser light shows. It’s part of our season. Classy? No. But fun? Yes!
I am with you 100%. 😂😂😂. Enough is enough. I love your weekly videos and have been following you for sometime. What I love is how you show the ugly and you give an elegant design alternative. Lovely 😊
Wow thank you!
Agree on all levels. 👍
Hi Lisa & team of lovelies 😊 thanks for another expert video and see you next week! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
You got it thanks for watching!
Poor kids. Mom and dad needs to project the designer look, so Christmas is sterile this year!
I agree except the bathroom. I dont do kitschy santa though, i use flocked greenery and pink Victorian in there. And i loathe colored lights especially indoors.
I love the kitschy decor otherwise it's all peanut butter withno jelly...but would never live with it at my house. Lol
Where I live we get a lot of wind. The inflatables blow over & deflate…people’s yards end up looking like an inflatable war zone
Amen and thank you Lisa!!!
No Yoda Santas. I agree 💯 %.
A Merry Christmas you must have 🎅
I think you can adapt your decor to your location. I’m in Arizona so I hang red chili ristras on my door at Xmas. I like the colored lights on the old Mexican houses too.
Great idea!!
Love my tinsel. It just depends “how” you put it o the tree. My looks amazing.
I've seen too many over the top decorations along the years, so I agree with this list. I'm more of an arts and craft/ sewing type of decorator and don't really like the standard red & green combo, so I usually opt for gold and white and keep things simple.
Disney Christmas themed inflatables.....very goofy!
Everything here is a warm white with some red & white bows & pine limbs for decoration but the tree inside is a multi-color explosion!
Can't live without it!
What about my retro tinsel tree that I'm about to get out? I love it! But I don't hang tinsel on anything.
5th Avenue in Naples Florida has fake snow and the people love it.
Love, love love the tacky house Christmas light explosion! Just not on my house
instead of tinsel (which I hated), years ago I used raffia draped on the tree. It was wonderful and eco-friendly.
I used to adore that old-style tinsel that we put on our trees sixty years ago (along with the multi-colored bubble lights) but as soon as I found out the danger to birds and other wild animals, I stopped using it altogether. It's not THAT pretty.
Sooooo pretty 🤩
I'm just glad I don't do any of these ugly trends.
Although I don't use multi-colored lights, I don't dislike them as they bring back childhood memories.
I'll probably put them on a small tree.
Sorry but the tinsel tree with no ornaments is beautiful.
Would ❤ a 10 Top easy designer tips to decorate the home for the Holidays.
Hit me at either FB or IG at @lisaholtdesign, And I've got a 20 point checklist you gotta have!!!!
I agree with you on this. I don't like it too busy, too much. Less is posh! 🏆✨
Exactly!!👍🏻🥰
The Star Wars thing is understandable, because I associate Star Wars with Christmas too. I still have my remote controlled R2-D2 from the 70's that was part of the Star Wars themed presents my Mom came up with one year. Parents have a theme, your kids will never forget it!
My wife and I are not even doing a tree or any holiday decorations. When I put up decorations in my home they STAY up. Not to be scrooges but I don't want to go through the hassle of having to take things down again once the season is over.
"Yard inflatables... They're kind of not a designer look guys" 🤣🤣🤣 Oh Lisa, I love you!
I agree about the inflatables but if your little son is shopping with you for decorations and sees a big globe inflatable and wants to have it bc it makes him smile and makes Christmas magical do you say no? This metal Santa stake is chic. We can shine a light on it and done! Let’s get 5 of those. Nope not me. We get the globe! Christmas is for children. It’s the time we remember the most important baby of all. My biggest problem is getting all my white lights to look the same hue of white. I never saw a pink mustache on a car. 🤣. I guess I’m not a Designer decorator for Christmas. I have 2 inflatables. But I don’t buy them anymore bc the children are grown. Still I put them out bc they work and the children in the neighborhood like them. Once they bust though I will not replace them. Have a wonderful holiday season!!!
Hopefully you don't live really close to your neighbors because the sound of keeping them inflated is obnoxious!
It’s not very loud I only have 2 and they are far from each other. I can’t hear them when I pull up to the house and everyone’s windows are closed bc it’s cold here now . I don’t think anyone hears them ever. I sure don’t and they are right outside my windows.
I live in a rural area. There is a very large front yard a couple miles from me that is FILLED with inflatables, mostly Santa style Peanuts characters. They have only one nearby neighbor. I can't help but wonder if that neighbor prays for the holidays to end so they don't have to see that spectacle every time they look out the window.😂Since I don't have to look at it all the time it's just an amusement on a country drive.
I completely agree with everything except the colored lights.. it can be very attractive and not overwhelming if done right.
Love Lisa’s videos!! They make me so happy!
I agree with you on ALL of these UGLY decorations. Thank you!
As always , u hit the nail in the head, 100% in agreement with u, simple , understated is more.
Besides, less stuff to put away after the holidays.
I knew you would get some shade about this one when I saw the subject. I like that you clarified the things you listed are not 'designer.' Some people don't care about that and that's fine but if it IS what you're going for...listen to Lisa!
And here I am feeling all proud that I set out Snoop on a Stoop...maybe I'll hang a couple ornaments from the ceiling.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My neighbors have all these in front of their houses! I do agree with you though! Tacky to the max!
I hate the inflatables. Thank you for agreeing!
Great tips for decor
Glad you like them!
Excellent tips
Glad you like them!
“Tasteful” or tacky, one’s own decorations are the prettiest in the neighborhood, THIS year’s tree is the best one ever. Always.
What you call a Christmas light explosion, we call a Clark Griswold (referring to the house in the movie Christmas Vacation).
In my bathroom, I have a statue of three snowman and some glass round tree ornaments. That’s it
I so agree with you! Less IS more meaningful to your personal style and in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. I also recommend that one should consider how the decorations look during the day, not just at night.
Scrooge is back! Destroying Christmas joy for every girl and boy...just like last year.
I don't have kids, but I do have empathy for others, and Christmas decor should be all about children.
Oh my Christmas decorations are just up today, they are fabulous. No tackiness at all ! 🎉 You’d be proud of me !
Ok ok. It was actually my sister that made my house fabulous! Its totally wOw!
Ach Lisa, it is an uphill battle when it comes to trying to instill good taste and traditional values. Christmas in the US is an avalanche of plastic heading for the landfill and gaudy, electricity wasting, competitive displays. I much prefer the traditional European holiday decor of candles and natural materials that inspire peace and hope and gentle togetherness.
Me, too!
With you on all of these except multi coloured lights now that is classic Xmas to me and it’s a firm NO on single colours other than white eww blue 🤮
I totally agree.
I agree with all you've said Lisa!
I agree 100% with Lisa. But hey you line inflatables etc??? well then you do you. Not for me. Can’t stand all that chaos
I don’t disagree overall especially since I too do the white lights and minimal outdoor (and indoor) decor and I got this from my mother who in the 50’s and 60’s always did designer trees and decor. And it’s since backfired on me with my kids (3 of them and 7 grandkids) who don’t want designer trees and lights. They want all of the rainbow colours and all the homemade decorations and memory making stuff. Apparently my Christmas decor was cold and too nice! LOL so go figure?! I say each to their own. Do what makes you happy. It’s a special time of the year and any way (without hurting anyone) you want is the right way. Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah to all!
Designers and show hosts take such care this time of year to say "holiday" instead of the C word. LOL
Too many Laser lights can be irritating to neighbors.
We use both color lights on the outside white light on the tree and on our fireplace
I agree with all but the tinsel!
Hey guys this is for those who are wanting a designer look not to dis other choices. Do you. Merry Christmas to all
Mygrandma used to have a toilet lid cover somebody had. It was great. Santa said ho,ho,ho on the lid. Lift the seat up and Santa said no, no, no! I love a bit of Christmas tacky.
They have to disagree with you on the multicolored lights. I think they’d rather joyful. However, I do agree with you with the over done lighting schemes.
With you on the inflatables. I’ve hated them since I was a kid. And the laser lights. I’ve always loved twinkly lights, though. All varieties. Even the rainbow ones. And I do enjoy looking at the people who go all out and just throw lights on every surface, even though I would never. (Though I promised my spouse we could do it at least once.)
