When he asks his wife what she thinks of his new purchase, she responds, “What is that? What the hell did you guys do?”
When the man repeats his question, his wife calls his setup “ridiculous” and “so dumb.”
“You’re nuts, that’s not staying there all Christmas season!” she snaps.
She then vents her frustration about how she hasn’t been able to decorate with her choice of lights past holidays.
“I don’t get the white lights on the tree, I don’t get the white lights anywhere I want them!”
When the man attempts to argue with his wife that there is nothing wrong with the colorful lights, she tells him to “shut your face.”
The topic of white and colored Christmas lights has many holiday enthusiasts debating.
Many TikTok users found the man’s predicament hilarious and relatable.
“That’s actually amazing lol,” one user commented. “Okay if my husband did this I couldn't help but laugh,” another user shared.
Other users took the opportunity to debate whether white lights or colorful lights were the superior decoration.
“Hot take: blue Christmas lights are tacky IMO [in my opinion], the white will always look classier,” one user expressed.
“White or yellow feels too much like normal house lighting,” another user argued.
Multicolored or nothing,” a colorful light proponent chimed in.
“White lights > colored lights…you can’t change my mind,” another user wrote.
