Get in The Christmas Spirit, and Pay Less While Doing It

Commercial christmas lighting

Did you know that Edward Johnson, an assistant of Thomas Edison, first cooked up the notion of Christmas lights on Christmas trees in 1882, and mass production of festive tree lights began in 1890? Edward Johnson changed the face of Christmas forever. Most people cannot get in the spirit without Christmas tree lights. How are more Americans buying more Christmas lights than ever, making Christmas extra special, and saving some money, too?

Get in That Christmas Spirit

Wondering where to buy cheap Christmas lights? When it comes down to it, the important thing is that you have them. On Christmas trees, mini bulbs gently twinkle, sometimes casting light onto, or reflecting light off of, shiny and colorful Christmas balls. Outdoor lighting can brighten up your home, and cast a delicate glow on the freshly fallen snow.

Families can save money indoors by using tree lights conservatively. Even a few white christmas lights can be used to tremendous effect. Outside, decorators need to be realistic about energy costs. Running one 50 light strand, or one 300 watt strand, for thirty days, at an average of five hours each day, costs about $4.50. To get a realistic estimate, multiply $4.50 by the number of string lights, or light strands, that you will be using. If you are still having trouble keeping costs at bay, Christmas aficionados can pay careful attention to Energy Use Comparison Improvements, and apply energy saving, and money saving, tips to outdoor decorations.

Recycle and Reuse Christmas Lights

It goes without saying that you can reuse Christmas lights when the season comes around again. Decorators can also use them, especially white lights, for special occasions. String lights look great wrapped around decks, patio umbrellas, or around the gazebo, and that will really class up your next company party, holiday party, or backyard wedding.

Find out where to buy cheap Christmas lights, and start decorating. Consult the experts to keep energy costs inside and outside low, and do not forget about their decorating potential during the off season.

  1. i absolutely adore Christmas lights, so i appreciate the tips! my dad hosts a couple of holiday parties (he lives in FL), and he puts the lights around his garden, pool, and fountain. They’re gorgeous. I can’t wait until his next party and next Christmas!
