Delaware Family's Christmas Decorations Make the Griswolds Look Like Amateurs
The Fauchers have apparently adhered to a Griswold-style lighting plan for 25 years, and -- this year -- House Logic broke down the monthly costs required. At four hours per night, for 1 million individual bulbs, the Fauchers allegedly pay $82,320 every month, which breaks down to $686 per hour. According to Gizmodo, though, if the Fauchers were to make the switch to LED lights, the monthly bill would plummet to a relatively reasonable $10,680, or a paltry $89 per hour. Plus, with LED displays, the family could synchronize their illuminated decorations with the classic carols of the season -- like these unwavering traditionalists
If you read my Bah, Humbug post, you know I am not a big fan of Christmas lights on our OWN home and this is the reason why.....When is enough, enough?
They are beautiful and festive but when I see the dollar figures above I just cringe. That money could be going to a local charity to help people that DON'T have electricity because they can't pay their bill. Just my two cents!
Ok, now you can call me Scrooge if you like.
