I hang them on Thanksgiving weekend and pull them down New Years Day (today, which got me wondering about the cost, which led me to google, which led me to your post!). And I estimate I have about 1/3 more lights than you. AND, I don't have a timer, but your article has taught me that the timer is a good idea because sometimes we forget and DO leave them on all night. SO. To the math! Roughly 5 or 6 Kwh at $0.25/per Kwh is $1.25 or $1.50 per day, or about 50 bucks a season. Ouchie. Well, christmas is worth it. I'll buy a timer, and smile when I get my bill in January.Popshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746786932882464962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30923301.post-64106387297139211452011-11-27T08:03:19.081-08:002011-11-27T08:03:19.081-08:00Fascinating post.
