After Christmas, after the lights and decorations have been put away and after all the good feelings that came with the season, there will be the ELECTRIC BILL! Probably sometime in January, you will receive your bill for the month of December and in it you will notice how much juice your display used above your normal household use. This amount varies accordingly to the amount of usage of your lights and other components of your display. Depending on that amount, it could be as much as 30% - 40% of the bill. Be sure to keep that in mind when setting up your display. Last year, the amount we paid for our display's usage was about $35.
Plan B.
Bearing that in mind and due to not putting out much of a display this year, we decided to spend that amount anyways in the form of buying food for the foodbank ourselves. We ended up buying 6 large bags of groceries weighing 72 Lb.s and perhaps there will be more by the time the foodbank opens next. While having a major light display is a great way to show community spirit, its not the main reason we do it. Raising food for the needy is our main goal at Timber Town Christmas and we do what we can to reach that goal. We also encourage everyone to do the same and contribute what they can to the foodbanks as well.
From everyone here at Timber Town Christmas, we wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
