The debate between multi-colored holiday lights and white lights arises every year. (Dreamstime)

By Christen A. Johnson Chicago Tribune (TNS) Growing up, Christmas always consisted of begging my mother to add those fun, multicolored lights to our meticulously decorated gold, burgundy and ivory color-schemed tree.

“No, honey,” she’d say softly.

“That’s tacky.”

According to a recent survey conducted by Wakefield Research for BJ’s Wholesale Club, my childhood self isn’t alone in the desire for colorful twinklers. Of the survey’s 1,000 participants, 62 percent said they prefer multicolored lights, versus the 38 percent who opt for white lights.

Bill Cielinski, co-owner of B&B Holiday Decorating based in Des Plaines, Ill., says disagreements in households about what color lights to choose are common.

“We’ve had houses where we’ve done one set of lights, and then the wife overrules the husband, and we go switch the colors,” he said.

According to Cielinski, 90 percent of his company’s clients opt for white lights over multicolored.

Based on his experience and observations, he thinks that socioeconomics play a factor.

“When somebody is hiring

somebody — usually the upper class — they don’t like to think outside the box. They want that traditional look, that white twinkle-light effect with the white style of lights,” he said. “Maybe because they’re typically older, and that’s what they grew up on and what you see in the movies.”

Cielinkski said he sees closer to a 50-50 split with the company’s online decoration rental business, which caters to homeowners who want to put up the lights themselves.

Kelly Fitzsimmons, owner of Chicago decorating company Light Up Your Holidays, encourages people to join in the holiday celebration, whether their decor is “homegrown or professional.”

“It’s all personal preference,” she said about the multicolored versus white lights debacle. “There are really ways to satisfy everyone. It’s Christmas!”

Fitzsimmons offers these ideas if households are in need of a compromise in the great light debate.

Head out back. “Decide what little elements you can do to satisfy the kids. If you want a classic, clean Christmas look in front, decorate a tree in the backyard with multicolored lights. Make sure that

Loveland Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

the kids can see it from inside. Do green and red bushes too.”

Two is better than one. “Have two trees inside,” Fitzsimmons suggests. “It doesn’t have to be embarrassing for your neighbors to see the multicolored tree — just have it another place in the house.

If this isn’t enough, just bite the bullet, and change the lights every other year.”

Happy wife, happy life. “When a disagreement is between spouses, mom always wins. Why? Because more often than not, she’s the one managing it all, and so she gets to have first dibs on her choice of holiday lights.”

Have fun. “Christmas decor is not about the denomination, but creating a winter wonderland; it’s a gift that we give everyone, no matter what color, how quirky or how professional. Decorations are part of the heart and soul of the holidays. Just celebrate, and put something out to join in the celebration.”

HOLIDAY PLUMBING DISASTERS

and easy way to give the blades a new edge is to run a few ice cubes through the disposal.

If the disposal isn’t running at all, locate the reset button on the bottom of the unit and press it. If it’s still not working, it’s time to call a plumber.

A clogged kitchen sink or stuck disposal can stress out any holiday chef. (Shutterstock)

By HomeAdvisor HomeAdvisor(TNS) Murphy’s Law dictates that all plumbing disasters occur when you’re entertaining, cooking a large meal or hosting guests for the weekend. Naturally, of course, they also generally occur on Saturday night or Sunday. Here’s what you should do when they happen.

CLOGGED TOILET The only thing worse than dealing with a clogged toilet is clogging a toilet in someone else’s home. Talk about embarrassing.

That being said, toilets get clogged, even if you make it a point to have your main sewer line scoped once or twice a year.

Thankfully, it’s one of the easier plumbing problems to fix — usually a plunger will get things flowing again (so be sure to keep one in every bathroom). But sometimes you have to deal with the mother of all clogs, and that calls for more drastic measures.

There are a number of different tactics for dealing with a clogged toilet. You can use chemical drain cleaners, a coat hanger (be December 15-16, 2018

sure to wrap the end with toilet paper), a wet/dry vac, or a drain snake, to name a few. Regardless of what method you choose, just remember to turn off the water to the toilet (you don’t want to compound the problem). If none of these options clear the clog you’re going to need to call a plumber.

CLOGGED DRAIN Dealing with a clogged drain is a lot like dealing with a clogged toilet. But it could be an easier fix if the clog is located in the j-trap (the j-shaped pipe under your sink). Before you go taking apart pipes, try using a chemical drain cleaner. If that doesn’t work, try snaking the pipe. If the clog still doesn’t dislodge, take apart the j-trap to see if the obstruction is there. If it isn’t, the clog is further down the line, and you’ll need to call a plumber.

FIXING A BROKEN GARBAGE DISPOSAL If you have a garbage disposal, you’ve probably dealt with clogs at one point or another.

Aside from being a major (and sometimes smelly) annoyance, a

clogged disposal is a problem that can often be prevented so long as you’re mindful of what you put down it (no eggshells, potato peels, grease or coffee grounds).

That being said, a disposal is a machine, and machines do break.

If you notice that it’s taking longer than usual for your disposal to do its thing, there’s a good chance its blades need sharpening. A quick

WATER HEATER WOES There’s usually little mystery when your water heater breaks: There’s no hot water or the unit is leaking at the base. If you’re dealing with a broken water heater, you’ll need to call a professional. But in the case your water heater is working and you’re running out of hot water sooner than you’re used to (not good when you’ve got a house full of guests), it could be caused by sediment in the water tank — and you’ll want to flush the unit to clear the debris.

Of course, it could be that your water heater is just old and needs to be replaced. If you want to make sure you never run out of hot water again, take a look at installing a tankless water heater.

Since costs can vary, you’ll want to get estimates from at least three pros.

4 Reasons to sell a home during winter to reach out to an agent. Don’t wait until spring hits to make a necessary change in your life!

Selling your home at the right time can make the process that much smoother.

Each season SUZANNE brings certain PLEWES advantages, RE/MAX Alliance but winter is a uniquely great time to put your home up for sale.

If you are ready to list your home, these three reasons to sell a home during winter may persuade you

OP

Fewer Competing Listings The cold weather and holidays often keep people busy.

That means fewer homes come on the market during this time of year,… and there’s therefore less competition for your listing.

You’ve probably heard before that the market is about supply and demand. Low supply and high demand is optimal for sellers, so don’t let the winter months stop you from selling.

Motivated Buyers Buyers looking during the winter tend to be more serious.

The reason spring and summer are often the busiest real estate seasons has much to do with people preferring to move during warmer temperatures. Thus, buyers who are searching for a home during winter tend to be more motivated, such as those needing to relocate for a new job. Working with motivated buyers is always a benefit to sellers.

The Market Is Still Hot If it is a seller’s market, the winter doesn’t change that. High home values are dependent on the economy, interest rates and buyer demand. There may be fewer listings during witner, but that does not mean you will get less for your home. In fact, low inventory and high demand often lead to increased prices.

Interest Rates Are on the Rise Interest rates rose in 2018 and are expected to rise further in

2019. For buyers who haven’t yet found a home, this is a big reason to find a home sooner rather than later. Every time rates rise, it increases homeownership expenses and reduces buying power. Most buyers realize this and are not delaying their home search efforts simply due to cold weather.

Every season brings with it different buying and selling conditions. Winter has long thought to be a bad time to sell a home, but that is simply not true. Buyers are motivated and searching, there are fewer competing listings and you can still ask for top dollar.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS

Association fees don’t always seem fair, but they might be

By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin, Tribune Content Agency

discretion about how to set up the documentation and how the fees will get paid. Your question poses an interesting issue: You are considering the lake as an amenity that only benefits the homeowners that live along the lake.

You should know that for many developments, lakes and other water detention or retention areas are necessary for the proper drainage of water for the entire community. From this point of view, any maintenance to the water drainage systems would be necessary for the benefit of the whole development. We can see how a developer would cause the association to have the responsibility of caring for those water features and have every homeowner share in that expense equally.

As a separate issue, the developer can also create a fee structure for certain uses that result in additional fees for the

association members. For instance, if the homeowners on the lake have boats and those boats create additional expenses for the association, the association can charge a fee for having boats or using boats in the lake. Having said that, and given that your annual dues are around $500, we would think that the association is probably spending most of the money maintaining the lake for drainage purposes.

If your numbers are accurate, your homeowners association takes in around $125,000 a year. That doesn’t seem like a lot of money, given that lakes and other drainage systems in developments often need annual maintenance and, in some years, major maintenance to keep the water flowing properly through the development.

So, on balance, if the intended need for the fees is for drainage purposes, it’s probably proper

for the fees to be the same for all homes. And, if you live in a state where you pay property taxes, we’ll assume that the homes on the lakes sell for more than other homes and those homes will then pay higher property taxes due to their higher valuation.

LAWN AND GARDEN

Mark the winter solstice with greenery We have axial tilt to thank for an upcoming celebration, one that humans have observed for thousands of years. Because our Earth doesn’t stand upright in

BY CAROL its orbit - instead O’MEARA it tilts on its axis Colorado State by 23-and-a-half University Extension degrees - as the planet orbits the sun, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres trade places in leaning toward or away from the sun. When it’s our turn to lean away, winter ensues. Friday, December 21, is the apex of our tilt away from the light, when days are shortest and cold settles in.

Celebrations of the winter solstice around the world capture our imaginations, because after this the days will start to warm, and the garden will awaken in spring. But that’s a few months away, so we deck the halls and sing old songs, following traditions spanning back centuries and millennia to encourage the sun to return. The solstice gives us cause to festoon our homes with

greenery, mistletoe, oranges, berries, and holly. Here in Colorado that sun doesn’t leave often, so this is your friendly reminder to winter water your trees, woody plants, and perennials.

Despite our overabundance of sunshine, we dive into traditions today that are rooted in ancient celebrations of the winter solstice, especially Saturnalia. A festival to honor the god of agriculture, Saturn, the Saturnalia was originally celebrated in Ancient Rome for only one day, December 17.

But like our current marketing madness that stretches holiday shopping into months, Saturnalia was so popular that it soon lasted a week, despite several attempts by rulers to curtail the revelry. The basis for the festival was serious business: if the sun left the earth it was because the gods were distracted by other interests, therefore people had to

entice them back. Since everyone loves a party, surely a god-sized revel would bring them back.

Gardeners understand pining for the growing season to return, so here’s how to decorate and celebrate Saturnalia in case those ancient peoples were onto something.

The décor is easy, because there’s a familiar feel to it: many of the Saturnalia decorations involved greenery, such as garlands and wreaths hung inside and out of the house. Evergreen trees growing outdoors were adorned with ornaments celebrating the sun, stars, and food treats such as sweet cakes or crackers.

Gild ornaments in gold to celebrate the sun, hang pine cones or holly about the house. Wax candles were a favorite gift of the Romans, who prized the burning tapers. Small clay dolls and coins were sometimes exchanged. Today we give gifts of

flowering plants or those plants that are brightly colored, like poinsettias, to brighten up our homes.

Feasting and drunkenness were mainstays of the festival, but you can sip on whatever makes you happy.

Make sure to designate one person as the Lord of Misrule to provide mischief each day of the week, but make sure the mischief is based in kindness and cheer, instead of cruelty.

If you really get the itch to celebrate the solstice, expand your celebrations to include soaking in a hot bath with yuzu citrus fruits, a custom in Japan that soothes the body and soul. Simply toss the fruit into the tub whole and the warmth of the water releases a soothing citrus scent.

Or eat tang yuan, rice balls that are part of the Chinese celebration of the solstice. Lighting bonfires is also a way to celebrate the solstice, but in Colorado, that’s not a great idea.

How to use Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year in your home

By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service (TNS)

The Pantone color of the year is Living Coral. (Pantone) 8

AT HOME

Pantone’s new Color of the Year is Living Coral. Orange? Not really.

Living Coral is updated and fresh, not orange, not peach, but instead, according to the celebrated Pantone Institute, the color of a vibrant sunset.

Here are seven tips on how to incorporate Living Coral into your decor.

1. Consider incorporating a pop of color. Instead of having it dominate, bring in Living Coral as an accent color.

2. Consider pairing Living Coral with foundation colors such as

charcoal gray, white, taupe and even brown.

3. Introduce Living Coral through artwork, a great way to introduce the new “it” color into nearly any space.
