  DOYLESTOWN STATION, Pa.(CBS)-Marie Buonanno has boxes of holiday lights to decorate her house.She already has one tree up in her living room and a nativity scene.But this holiday season, she would not dare decorate outside.

  " It is very disappointing that we can' t celebrate the Christmas holiday the way that we religiously choose to, " says Buonanno.

  Her home only has a holiday wreath on the door, since the Doylestown Station Condominium Association told her the bylaws do not allow colored Christmas lights.Last year, she was fined $400, $ 10 for each day her lights were up.But she says she was the only one slapped with a fine.

  "One of my neighbors that I spoke to a few days ago, who decorates with multicolored lights, says he never got a letter of warning or a fine."

  Only white, non-blinking lights are allowed outside.And you can only put up a single white, blue, or orange light in your windows.Neighbors collected 62 signatures to ask the Association board to allow colored Christmas lights.In response, the Association sent out a survey.

  Out of 38 total responses, 19 voted for white lights, 14 voted for colored non-blinking lights, and 5 voted for colored blinking.The board said the vote was 19-14 against colored lights, interpreting the 5 votes as a separate category.

  "As long as it" s tasteful, " says neighbor Marc Udell, "let the community do what the community is going to do."

  No one answered the door at the Association president* s house.Some neighbors say they like the look of white lights.

  "Some colored lights are pretty and they have their place in neighborhoods, but you never really know how far people are going to go with them, " says Jeff Edwards.

  With a £4 million ITV contract(合同)in her pocket and an engagement(婚约)to her England footballer boyfriend, it's been a good year for Christine Bleakley.Perhaps it's no wonder, as the TV presenter is 31, the age at which women are the most attractive, according to a survey.

  While the average British woman of 31 may be married with a child, the survey noted they are at a wonderful age because they have not only youthful beauty but also more confidence and a better sense of style than flesh-faced teenagers.

  Self-confidence varied widely across the country in the survey:London women emerged as the most confident about their looks, with 37 percent describing themselves as beautiful, compared with just 28 percent of Welsh women.Meanwhile, East Midlands women spend the most on beauty programs-£129.69 monthly-compared with a national average of £105.50.

  The research was carried on for TV shopping channel QVC to mark the launch of its "Beauty Month".QVC marketing director Sue Leeson said:"This research shows what many have always suspected-real beauty is about more than just good looks but a combination of confidence, style and personality, too.”
