Take it easy on your holiday lighting decorations

The holidays are practically here and since Black Friday everyone has entered the race for buying gifts for those they know. Sad that the holidays are nothing more than an excuse to spend money but that is a story for another post. What I want to talk about briefly is the holiday home decorations and how wasteful they are.

If you take a drive around any suburban neighborhood in the US these days, you see all these houses decorated with outdoor lighting specifically for the holidays. The lights remain on all night and are essentially seen by almost none, especially in the late hours of the night and early hours of the morning. What is the point of these decorations? What do people hope to achieve wasting electricity in such a retarded way? These holiday home decorations do nothing but waste our planet’s resources over a tradition that is based on some fairytale. I beg you, home owners. Think of our planet before you decorate the outside of your house with a massive number of lights.
