I agree
I much rather see some traditional decorations.
Then you would complain some more
About all the money spent to store and mount them, etc. Or that they weren't to your spec.
Wow!
I can't WAIT to see this!
If you want your holiday to be nothing but refined, get yourself a roll of green ribbon and have a ball.
Me, I want all the holiday sparkle, color, baubles, lights, and glitter I can get.
It's showing tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday from 5 to 10 pm, and lasts about 10 minutes. Couldn't find anything on the BPL site so go here:

I saw them setting this up, Wednesday evening I think, and I thought it looked cool! Also nice to see people take a break from their scurrying around and watch for a bit. I mean.. why not?

Bizarre
Bizarre. And not in a way that makes you think, or takes you out of your 'comfort zone'. Who approves this crap?
People who have a different esthetic than you, obviously
I trust you'll bring another person with you to guide you through Copley Square so you can avert your eyes.
It's interesting! Maybe I
It's interesting! Maybe I wouldn't want EVERY decoration in town to be like that, but one is brilliant.
I was simply expressing my own, personal, opinion,
and never claimed or implied others may have differing opinions, likes, dislikes.
Based on...
Is your own, personal opinion based on having seen this?
Way too much color; should be tastefully all white.
Purples, blues and red? Garish, tacky, over the top. They probably even have yellows and greens. The entire show should be done in tones of tasteful white. Just like all the white lights that decorate houses (and streetlights and car lights).
Christmas should be a tasteful, subdued affair teaching people how to decorate with subtlty and an eye for uniformity and how to use a homogenous pallete of white to show that you are of the tasteful set, not the tacky set that likes colored lights.
Colored whites are so...un-uniform and, gosh, suggest frivolous ideas such as happiness, jollity, playfulness and even joy.
Tea Party
The circular purple design reminds me of the psychedelic light show at the old Tea Party.
