I only use white lights and all of my ornaments are either red, silver, white, clear or green. I do not care for gold at all(not even in my jewelry) All my wrapping paper matches my tree colors also. I have a thing for reindeer and I love my Nutcrackers. I have several the kids have gotten me at the Santa shop at Abney(best santa shop ever )I add a few new things every year, I would love to do ribbon around the tree but honestly I'm not that great of a decorator so I am afraid I'll screw it up
