Now that Halloween is almost upon us, the Christmas sections at retailers are getting bigger and bigger. In fact, this morning when I went to the store I couldn’t find the Fall decorative aisle. The candy aisle was there, so was the costume aisle, but the aisle with all the cute home décor stuff for Fall? Gone! Christmas has taken over. The big things like artificial trees, outdoor decorations and wrapping paper aren’t out yet, but the boxes of twinkly lights are everywhere. I noticed that LED Christmas lights are abundant this year. Makes sense, with the current “go Green” movement in full force. I read somewhere that if 20% of American homes switched to LED Christmas lights during the average holiday season, that switch would save over 400 gigawatt hours of electricity. That’s a pretty big deal for such a small change, I think.
And now I have passed on this small tidbit on to you, and you can say you learned something new today.
