Well, we got all of our Christmas decorations basically up. But I’ve discovered that my husband and I seem to be at odds with the lights inside the home. He wants our Christmas tree on all the time, I figure we should turn it off if no one is in the room to see…so who is right?

Honestly our indoor lighting debate covers more than just the Christmas tree. I always turn off lights that aren’t in use. I think my parents must have taught me that or something. My husband, on the other hand, got upset last night when I turned the hallway light off, as he said he would need to see to walk through the hall later. Um, we’ve lived in that house for a while, I think he can find his way with limited light, he doesn’t need the hallway light on.

But the Christmas tree is a different matter. He’s been pushing to get the LED Christmas lights. I know, they’re brighter, they use less electricity, I understand all of that. It’s the initial outlay of money that I just can’t seem to handle. Therefore we still don’t have LED lights and we have the old regular lights. They are definitely not as energy efficient as the LED’s, therefore it just backs up my view that they should be turned off when no one is looking at them.

Then again, it is Christmas time. The kids love them, they give off a warm glow when you enter the room. So who is right in this little debate? Let me know your views!
