With stockings to stuff and feasts to prepare, the last thing you need this holiday season is a Santa-sized electric bill. So keep a little more jingle in your pockets with these five easy-to-follow savings tips.

1.Use LED lights. If you plan to purchase new holiday decorations this year, choose LED lights. Although a little pricey up front, these highly-efficient bulbs will save you money for celebrations to come. After 10 holiday seasons, the cost of purchasing and operating incandescent tree lights would cost you $55.62, whereas LEDs would cost just $33.29, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. And since LED lights will last 25 times longer than incandescent strands, they really are a bargain.

2.Turn off your lights. There’s something a little magical about a tree twinkling with lights in the dark, but the charm doesn’t extend during the daylight. Unplug your lights during the day—and when you’re sleeping—to trim a little off your holiday expenses. Or try this handy trick: Set your lights on a timer so they turn off automatically during certain hours of the day.

3.Tone it down. Decking your halls (and tree, roof and yard) may put you in the holiday spirit, but going overboard with your lights might blow your electricity budget. Toning down the electric decorations—even a little—can have a big impact on your energy bill. Opt for decorations, such as wreaths or garland, that add a little holiday cheer without using your power.

4.Dress for the season. If it’s chilly out, put on a long sleeve shirt or jacket. And don’t forget to slip on a pair of socks. Putting on extra clothing can help keep you comfortable in your home so you won’t have to touch the thermostat.

5.Save in the kitchen. If your holiday season is packed full of family meals and baking, you may be able to find some savings in your kitchen. Use smaller appliances, such as your microwave or slow cooker, in lieu of your oven when possible. If you must use the oven, cook several dishes together to save energy. And don’t open the oven to check on your food. It can lower the oven temperature by 25 degrees.
