As it gets closer to New Year’s Day, more and more people will begin to take down their holiday light displays. I know I usually like to have it put away by then because I’m done looking at it, at least for another year. This year I put up very few lights because the house we’re renting has extensive gutters and aluminum siding. On top of that, I don’t have a ladder that will allow me to get too crazy with the decorations. I also noticed that several strings of my lights don’t work.
Mini-LED Lights
I’ve been wanting to switch over to LED light strings but am waiting for the cost to come down a little and for my strings to quit working. If you’re in the same conundrum, wanting to switch over but not sure what to do with the old lights, you should check out this Christmas Light Recycling Program. Holiday LED’s will recycle the old strands you mail them and give you a 15% off coupon for new strings of LED lights. That’s a pretty cool deal and a great way to properly dispose of your old lights.
Have you made the switch to holiday LED light sets yet? If so, what do you think? If not, what’s keeping you from doing it?

As I talked about yesterday, I'm not sure most people heed warnings and prpeare themselves to be without essential services like power and water for extended periods of time.

Glorious is the only way I can think to describe the sudden onset of balmy temperatures and sunshine the past couple of days.

I was so fed up paying the high electric bills, I decided to try out LED lights. I bought the LED lights to replace my old bulbs – CFL and incandescent – and guess what – my electric bills did drop a lot! I also found a great site to buy the LEDs called LEDinsider.com that I would recommend enthusiastically. They had good service (good phone and email support), great FAQs so I knew what I needed, and competitive prices; also, their shipping was fast and the LEDs were as good as advertised. http://www.LEDInsider.com. Highly recommended.
