Tallaght house already lit up for Christmas 'doesn’t affect bills', says mam

A Dublin mam claims that her spectacular Christmas decorations have little effect on her electricity bill.

Anita Daynes lives in Tallaght and puts up her impressive Christmas lights one month before Halloween begins, a tradition which has captured the attention of the local community. She explains that the decorations go up ahead of time for her son Leighton, who has non-verbal autism and adores the routine of Christmas.

She has a fantastic display of decorations both outside and within the home, including a life-size snowman, Grinch themed window art and flashing neon Christmas lights. Anita says she hasn’t seen a cost increase on her bills, although she usually turns off the lights out at around half ten.
