Lighting even on a budget

Many will find they need to budget their Christmas spending this year and be somewhat frugal with their outdoor Christmas lighting. If you shop early enough, say a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving, you may find bargains at the lighting stores. If you have a special display in mind, take some measurements with you and you’ll be told just how many lights you need to buy. Some wood carved lighted outdoor figures may be on sale, too, such as Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph. These are favorites of small children and are bright and cheerful. Check out the store’s inventory.
