Change over to LED for the holidays

For over 100 years incandescent Christmas lights have ruled the trees and decorations of homes but as we move into a new era where we care more about the environment it is time to start looking at the superior LED lights. LED lights use only a fraction of the power that incandescent lights do (1/10th) and the best part of all is that they are cheaper! It might be difficult to let the old Christmas lights but LED are a safer alternative that will look even better on your tree while they help our environment. If only 20% of Americans changed over to LED lights it would save enough power over 30 days to power over 200 households for an entire year! LED lights also have 50,000 more hours of use than incandescents, so why not change to something better for this holiday season? Brighten your holidays up with a new set of LED lights, I know you will be happy with your decision (my family absolutely loves them). This post is sponsored by Holidayleds.com!

Help cure Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's is something that has been increasing in the world and it is something that often gets forgotten about until it hits someone in your family...I personally have not had a close experience with Alzheimer's but I have seen how hard it is for family's to deal with. Since my past interactions I have begun working hard to help cure Alzheimer's by informing people about places to donate and help out. One simple way that I strongly encourage all readers to do is to shop online at the Alzheimer's Foundation of America EStore for all of their holiday gifts. With Christmas and Thanksgiving coming at a speedy rate I ask you to at least check out the Alzheimer's Foundation of America EStore mainly because of what it stands for, and what it accomplishes. First the Alzheimer's Foundation of America EStore takes all of their profits and donates them completely to the cause of Alzheimer's. This is something that can be cured guys and I know that if we all do our share we can truly make this a thing of the past. This is a great chance for you to get involved with the Alzheimer's Foundation of America and it is an easy way to donate and help find a cure, as well as aid for all Alzheimer's people. Go online and get a holiday gift while making a very helpful donation to a very worthy cause. Don't just read and go on, please check this out and help end something that truly hurts thousands of people, you could be the difference.

Press Release:

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST HAUNTS INDEBTED BRITS

- New price saving site launches to save Brits up to 20% this Christmas -

As the nation approaches the final countdown to Christmas, new research rings alarm bells over the financial impact of Christmas in credit crunch Britain. The research from the new money saving website Savebuckets.com reveals that as Brits prepare for Christmas, many are still paying off last year’s festive spending.

With 41 per cent of Britons paying for Christmas on credit last year, almost one in five are still paying for last year’s festivities (17%), fewer than one in three having cleared their Christmas debts when their January credit card bill arrived (29%).

Following a year of consumer confidence in 2006, Christmas spending soared 52 per cent in two years (from an average £548 per adult in 2004* to £837 per adult in 2006), with over one in five Brits spending over £1,000 on Christmas last year (22%). This year, with spending power at its lowest level for 10 years**, consumers are feeling the financial hangover from a more confident Christmas enjoyed on the credit card and loans.

Alarmingly, it is cash strapped youngsters and low income earners who, having spent the most on last Christmas, are most likely to be feeling the repercussions of last year’s spending spree (see figures below).

The research into the financial impacts of last Christmas amongst a GB representative sample of 2,000 British adults was carried out by the new money savings website Savebuckets.com which launches this week to enable Brits to get more for their money this Christmas.

With these alarming figures in mind, Savebuckets.com will give shoppers the opportunity to save up to 20% on their Christmas shopping. Putting consumers back in control of their spending, the site searches over 700 retailers for the best price on around one million products. The site includes a unique price checker which allows consumers to set the price they want to pay for items, notifying them when the price of a product falls to within their budget.
