You mean shitty little LEDs that use almost no electricity? More like electric heaters, space heaters, the fact that people are cooped up inside and aren’t chilling outside at all because it’s colder than heck.

Hey those 25 watts are 0.000025 megawatts. If the city turned off their Christmas lights an hour early, they could cave 5 megawatt hours.

(I’m not even sure I did that math right-post is sarcastic)

Less to do with draw produced by Christmas decorations and everything to do with electrical heating in homes.

Yeah, damn right! I remember Paul's third letter to the Corinthians:

"And for whomever haveth electric heat, thou shalt turn thy thermostat down to 64. And lo, there will be much sheltering beneath blankets, loved ones bundled on couches... and though the Eagles may endure God's chilling winds, thou shalt be warned by the glow of big-screen TV's."

Or something like that.
