How much does it really cost to plug in Christmas lights on a 4 ft tree for a couple hours for 30 [View all]

days and all day christmas eve and christmas day?

My high school friend is frustrated by her husband. He has not help her put up the tree because he doesn't wants lights on the tree because they will cost a few extra cents a week.

They are in a very good place this year. Both are finally working and making a decent wage. the average electric bill now is $60 a month.

Can 3 strands of Christmas lights cause the electric bill to jump that high?
