Those lights can add to your energy bill, so here's some tips to save money and still put on a festive display.
) - What’s not to love about Christmas lights? They’re festive, they’re bright, they can make the most beautiful displays, and they can raise your power bill at the end of the month.

So let those Christmas lights shine bright!Another tip will cost more on your shopping receipt, but will save money on your power bill and last longer.
Making your home visible from space with Christmas lights can use more energy than you normally would throughout the year, so why not compensate by unplugging some appliances that are still using energy even while idle.
