I'm not really the type for lawn art or even Christmas lights. But I've got nothing against them. OK, yes I do, they're a god-awful waste of energy. But they don't have to be! Check out this listing from the American Inventor Spot of solar powered Christmas decorations and I will officially stop giving you such a hard time. Hits: 17600

Although the batteries in solar lights are just normal ni-cads (I took one to bits to mend it when it died), and you can give them a boost in a charger, which perks them up for quite a while.
This idea would certainly save some power, judging by the blaze of lights around the village, no one seems to turn them off at bed time and when I walk through the village around midnight (I can't sleep), all the lights are still shining.
Some displays are so large and tacky, they must be burning kilowatts of power.
