I guess its because they don't really show up as well on the Christmas tree.  Purple's kinda a darker color and Christmas is about light :)  Purple would be cool though, I mean who really cares all colored lights are cool...that's the good thing about Christmas, you're aloud to over decorate!!!

Keep an eye on the Top Toys for Christmas page at Alex's Coupons:\n\nhttp://www.alexscoupons.com/top-toys-christmas-2006.html\n\nThey're tracking when BabyAlive and a bunch of other toys are available. Right now it's showing as out of stock, but they were in stock at Walmart and Amazon as recently as last night.\n\nHope this helps...\n\n-- T

In earlier times, the tradition of making special Christmas crowns, imitating the church chandeliers, was widespread among the Estonians. The tradition disappeared around the turn of the century and was replaced by other Christmas symbols however, there was a revival of the ancient tradition in 1970s when it became very popular to make Christmas crowns once more.

The plastic stuff is usually sold at department stores with the Christmas decorations.  If you want real mistletoe, try a florist shop.  A friend of mine gets hers from a local shop.

Probably a new style. Many people still have silver, white, ivory, black,and also red! Its all part of style\nalso, people might buy black most of the time because their walls in their homes might be white. Many people do not like so many brightness in the rooms and black and white go together other than white and birghtness.\nAnother is people might like darker colors such as black to relieve their tired eyes.

It's not all of them.  Just some of the zealots that try to start trouble by attempting to trick us.\n\nNow, your question should have been, why can't they understand that there is more to the holiday season than Christmas (Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, etc.) and let places like Wal-Mart just recognize them all by saying Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays.  Those particular people are just trying to push their religious holiday on others...and frankly, it's not very Christmas like...

This is partially true, partially false.\n\nWith regards to purple, most people would agree that purple light is always some mixture of reddish and bluish light.   I.e. you can imagine two knobs, one raising and lowering the red and the other raising and lowering the blue, and you can get many shades of purple.  There may be other hues added in as well, but there is *always* red and blue (if not, we rarely call it purple).\n\nIn other words, if we didn't have the word "purple" in our language, we would probably call it something like "reddish blue" or "bluish red".\n\nBut we cannot do the same with red and green.   We have a very hard time imagining, or pointing to, a color that is "reddish green".  If given only a red and a green knob, the result will be make the color more or less neutral (gray or white).\n\nLikewise with blue and yellow.  (Some people will respond that green is bluish yellow, but that's because many people are used to mixing pigments on paper ... we're talking about mixing lights.)\n\nThese two pairs,  red-green and blue-yellow, are *fundamental* pairs.  We call them "oppositional".  (There is also a third opponent pair ... light-dark ... but as we're just talking about color here, we can ignore that one for the moment.)  This is called the "opponent theory" of color vision and is associated with Ewald Hering.\n\nSo in that sense we can call these four colors "fundamental" hues"  because all color we see can be mixed using knobs of these four colors.\n\nPeople will also wonder about the red-green-blue primaries, and the fact that we know we have red, green, blue photoreceptors in our eyes.  These would also seem to be fundamental hues (as evidenced by the computer monitor on which you are reading these words ... that monitor is able to simulate a wide range of colors using just red, green, and blue).\n\nThese two theories ... the "opponent theory" and the "trichromatic theory" competed for a long time until we found a way to reconcile them.  Basically, we have three types of photoreceptors, but they are wired in a way in our retina, that by the time signals are travelling down our optic nerve, the red-green are antagonistic signals as are yellow-blue.

they have these black out caps for the miniature lights.  You can put them on the lights that are between the window and door.  Check Lowes or Home Depot.  You will see the string in daylight, but at night it will look perfect!

Considering that Christmas really has nothing to do with the birth of Christ, or Christianity, why are you ranting. Check out what I'm saying. The Christians just gave it a new name. They adopted the holiday that is originally from Pagans. As far as Santa and the reindeer and the elves and the sleigh rides, I've never taught my children to believe in such lies, because if I lied to them about that, then they may just think that I would lie to them about God. I don't celebrate the holidays because of their origins. Try reading Exodus 32:4-10

I think that you could not find anything because there is nothing to find!!! Why would they dress different for Christmas!? \nItaly was always behind France in current fashion, so there is NO special dress code for the Christmas. They are just people like me and you and they put on clothes that are modern.\nI have been there many times and even celebrated Christmas in Bari Italy in 2002 and I really don't remember someone putting special clothes on....unless they have changed...\nMight be that some folks in Sicily and Sardinia still wear some folklore clothes.
