How Much Does It Cost: Holiday Contest
Merry Christmas! I am working on a new post for Monday – “How Much Does It Cost: Christmas Lights” – and thought it might be fun to have a little contest. The “How Much Does It Cost” series of posts have been very popular among readers and search engines alike. Here’s the contest…
Answer this question…
I want to find out how much the readers of DadisLearning.com think it costs to keep the Christmas lights on. I have provided a photo of our lights this year. We have kept it pretty simple. How much do you think it costs me to operate these lights for 32 days? (December 1 – January 1)
I am purposely not saying how many lights there are, hours of operation, what type of lights they are, or our electric rate, to keep guessing options open. All entries need to be submitted in the comments section at the bottom of this post. The prize: A $25 gift card to Olive Garden.
A few rules…
- We’re running this “Price is Right style.” Meaning the person who guesses the closest to the target number without going over wins. Remember, I am looking for total cost for 32 days.
- In the instance of same answers, the first answer submitted will win.
- Only guesses made in the comments section of this post will be eligible.
- Answers must be submitted by Sunday, December 15 at 11:59pm CST
- Only one guess per person
- Come back Monday, December 16 to read “How Much Does It Cost: Christmas Lights” for a look at how much our sparkly celebration of the season costs and to find out who won.
- Our front porch lights are not included in the calculation, only the Christmas lights.
