You think yours is OTT, you should see the house round the corner from me, I dont think there is a single inch of the house and garage that isnt covered with lights of some description, they seem to get more each year ;D This year we have some lovely twinkly coloured lights round all the sheds and aviaries, we also have a light up santa 8)

LOL It doesn't actually take much on the elec bill, as lights are only on for about 4 or 5 hours :)

last year we put out over 60 lights and our bill was extortonate over £700 but might just have been the pigs oil filled rads as well, good thing we changed them to panel heaters this year, we are not putting our lights out this year as the wind is awlful so most would end up broken, shame as we have 4 hugh blow ups as well, we got them down from loft last week but spent yesterday putting them back up in loft Oscar over the road is mad for it and spends a fortune but he had a knee op done last month and is'nt well enough we normally get the local buses doing a lights tour including ours but they will be disapointed, last year we were added in a book some one was writing about chrsitmas lights and was in the local paper as well, both us and Oscar live on a hill so the lights used to light up the whole area and we had to have police cones out lol

oh my ? :o
 
hehe - my mum and dad always get asked how much their bills are over christmas and its never that bad tbh... If you think about it they are only tiny little lights that dont really draw much power, so we have always found the bills to be fine....

Its when your brother who has moved out, comes round for a shower whilst there is music playing, mum is cooking with oven and microwave on and dads watching TV downstairs whilst I have my TV upstairs and also the computer on - as soon as the shower went on, the house went into complete darkness! hehehe - Scottish power came out and thought it was so funny that the 'Christmas House' as we are lovingly called by Crewe, was in complete darkness, that they took a picture of it with their van parked underneath the sleigh!! hahaha Thats when you may find bills start to get bigger! hehehe

Bless 'them!

I think its the air blown things we have outside that constantly blow air to keep them inflaated that cost the money on electric
