4. Ditch the Old Christmas Lights
Christmas isn’t just about looking good. It’s also a time to be green. If you haven’t yet made the switch to energy efficient LED lights, you’re behind the times. LED lights use less electricity, so they’re better for the environment. They’re also sturdier, much longer lasting and cool to the touch.
