LED lights use 90% less electricity than typical, incandescent Christmas lights. While the initial cost to buy LED lights is higher, they last 10x longer, pose less risk of fire and use less energy.
Even when switched off, electrical décor still consumes small amounts of electricity. Power strips help stop draining electricity from wall outlets.
Consider using a microwave or crock-pot for smaller tasks, reserving the oven for bigger items such as roasting turkey.
Instead of lights, use decorations that don’t need to be plugged in, such as garlands and ornaments.
Use timers to turn off lights during the day and late at night to save on electricity.
