Tom Hanks and Stephen Colbert have a heated discussion over Christmas tree decorations

On The Late Show last night, Tom Hanks and Stephen Colbert had a heated discussion over how they like to decorate their Christmas trees.

And it got intense.

When Tom Hanks asks if Colbert has flashing lights on the tree Colbert retorts, "That's insane. Flashing lights? We're not landing a plane!"

The argument climaxes when Tom Hanks tells Colbert to "get off my show," and Colbert immediately gets up and begins to leave. "Sorry, you just have such authority."

The only thing they did agree on was how poisonous tinsel used to be.

In my opinion, Tom Hanks won with his "symmetrically designed and decorated Christmas tree." Stephen Colbert is just too loose.

This Christmas, whose side will you pick?
