Christmas Lights

In Thurmont, Maryland, they are thinking of identifying those people who are behind on electric bills and wasting energy on christmas lights. Wow.

First of all, I enjoy christmas lights, I really do. But for those people who choose to put up HUGE tacky displays with cheap plastic reindeer, "ho, ho, ho-ing" santa clauses, enormous glittery candy canes, and THOUSANDS of christmas lights... make sure you pay your electric bills.

Now, I know everyone's budget gets a little tight around the holidays, especially now that our economy sucks, but try to prioritize. I recommend paying the utility bill before you spend your money on giant plastic reindeer. It's great if you have the holiday spirit and can't wait to celebrate, but it's December. December is cold. Very cold. If I had to choose, I would prefer having heat over a tacky santa clause on the roof of my house.
