Yes, it is true! Last year during the Christmas season, I had two $450 electric bills after the space shuttle announced my house could be seen from space with all the Christmas lights I had on it.
This year we are living in one of our investment properties and it isn't wired for such a light show, but I still knew I needed to find a better way, and we have! For less than half of one of last years bills, we found outdoor solar lights that charge during the day and stay on all night long and don't cost me a dime in electricity. Then the lights are LED and will last 100,000 hours without burning out!
You can start your search the same way I did and Google "Solar Christmas Lights" and you will be amazed at how many are out there. We happened to find ours at Home Depot for $20.00 for each 37' strand and couldn't be happier with our find.
Hope this saves you some money on your Christmas electric bill, as it has me, and I'm pretty sure it is better for the environment also.
Merry Christmas
