Why Is My Husband Such A Douchebag When Decorating The Tree?
 
Today, Personal Stories Editor Katy Elliott is tackling a contentious issue: white lights vs. multicolored. She comes down FIRMLY on one side – but unfortunately, her husband is on the other. “When my kids were little, my husband and I agreed to switch every year between white and multicolored lights for the Christmas tree. I like white lights; he prefers multicolored lights because they remind him of his 1980s childhood. But here’s the thing: Multicolored lights make me feel down right sad and give me no feelings of holiday magic,” she writes. She then goes on to write about the other arguments that erupt during the holidays, and I bet you’ll relate to at least one.
