Heading into the final run of the holiday season, it’s normally a time of cheer and celebration. But thanks to inflation, NatayHolmes explains there’s a little less cheer depending on how much you jolt up your home for the holidays.
A La Mesa father says he has about 30 illuminated light figures outside of his home. This is in addition to the three Christmas trees and lights hanging from the home on Binney Place.
“It makes me feel awesome pride,” says Chris Ostwald. “I come out here and look at it to myself every night.”“It takes me approximately 10 working days, sun up to sun down,” says Ostwald. “I like to keep everything off the ground. All of the connections are hidden and away from everything. They’re all waterproofed.”
The homeowner says he added sub-panels in the garage specifically for the lights to avoid any outages inside the home. Ostwald says he had an electrician come out to the home to check his connections and each circuit is 20 amps.“Our bill has risen over the last few years,” says his wife Hilary Ostwald.“Just this year our bill has already doubled in price and we haven’t really hit the Christmas light time yet. I expect this month will be pretty high.
This La Mesa family won’t be the only ones footing the bill this year. According to a study from House Method, it will cost Californians 17% more this year to power Christmas lights. The national average is up 13%.“I notice that lights that I usually got for $30 were now $60 at home depot,” says Chris Ostwald.
“Despite the increase in expense and 17 percent increase, it’s certainly not going to stop us from year to year,” says Hilary Ostwald. “There’s so much pride that my husband takes in this time of year that it's definitely worth every penny of it.”
