Christmas lights...no, no, no!

Greetings...folks...this is the first year...Christmas lights are bothering my photophobia/migraine, especially the flashing ones. Anyone else? I get a migraine after, no seizures - I don't want to present myself as a drama queen, it's just like...wow, one more thing I can't enjoy. I found the white/warm glow lights to not be so bad. So may have to switch to all-white lights on inside tree (1st world problem, I know), but you would think I asked my unsentimental husband to cut off a finger. Bah humbug. Going to put up (or down), what I want. Anyone else? -Lisa

  1. My heart feels for you, . I also struggle with lights that strobe. It's almost like they physically cause pain in my brain when I see them. Your idea to switch to warm glowing lights sounds reasonable. Is your husband wanting lights that are more colorful? Wonder if you could decorate the tree with ornaments of the colors he wants, to help balance out the lights not having it. Just a thought! - Cody (Team Member)
