Fab Freebie: Christmas Lights

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

This week’s early Christmas present is going to… Nancy (who says she “could certainly use some new lighting” and her favorite holiday glow “has to be my fireplace.”) Congrats Nancy!

As much as we love holiday lights, indoor lighting is something that you stare at every day of the year. So if you don’t love your lighting situation, this is one way to “dude, get on that” without spending any cash. See, recently we were voted one of Lamps Plus’ top home blogs of 2012 (how flattering!) and it came with a $500 shopping spree prize… but you know we don’t take freebies or swag, so the folks at Lamps Plus kindly agreed that we could pass that $500 credit to one of you! We’ve been fans of theirs for a while now since they seem to have about a million options (their chandeliers even popped up in our book a few times) so this week’s winner should have no trouble finding something to spend their light-loot on if they win.

    “LAMP ME!”

    My favorite light in the holidays is the glow from our small Christmas tree, followed closely by the glow from our space heater which keeps the temperature in a livable range in our loft apartment with huge windows and no insulation!

    Lamp me! I love when outside trees are covered in little white lights to the tips of the branches. I always say, “ooh…” and my sweet hubby rolls his eyes.

    Lamp me! My favorite festive light is the glow of the Yule log from my childhood. My grandfather cut a branch from his woods and drilled 25 candle holes. We would light a new candle every night and tell stories by its inviting light.

    My favorite holiday light of all time is totally the old school bubble lights that you put on christmas tree. My granparents used to have those and I always thought they were magical :)

    I love white twinkle lights everywhere. On my mantle, above my china cabinet. The christmas tree has to be colored lights though.

    LAMP ME! I used to be hard core only white lights. But being with my two kids who get SO excited over colored lights, I have grown very fond of them. :)

    I’m a traditionalist – I like the big bulbs outlining the house in gingerbread house colors. Never ceases to make me smile.

    I looooooooooove old school christmas bulbs. My Dad used to hang them outside when we were kids. Very nostalgic!

    LAMP ME! I love the look of white lights on a tree – especially when its decorated with silver and gold ornaments that just reflect the lights all over the tree. That to me is more magical than colored lights!

    LAMP ME! I immediately think of one of my best friend’s parents’ house when I think of Christmas lights – my friend’s mom makes the whole house softly glow between their Christmas trees and the greenery and lights that accent the rooms. It’s so beautiful and cozy :) Thanks for this nice giveaway!

    I love warm lights on our Christmas tree and colorful Christmas lights on our Japanese maple outside. And I also love lighting pine candles around the holidays to make the house even cheerier!

    I love the look of the white lights on the Christmas tree, but my true love is seeing my kids faces Light up while we drive through neighborhood after neighborhood looking at all the different Christmas lights!

    LAMP ME! I love Christmas lights of all colors- we camped out on Blac Friday for the Martha Stewart tree that changes from white lights to colored lights- depending on my mood I get the best of both worlds!!! It seems like colored lights win most of the time!

    LAMP ME! My husband is a Christmas-light… well… fanatic. He loves solid colored strands of lights, but lots of colors in a yard. So we’ve spent several evenings in the past few years turning 5 multi-colored strands into 5 single-colored strands. Insane, yes, but for a beautiful effect. I must give him props–he is good at what he does! :)
