Glenn Kuhn and son Jeremy have strung fewer lights at their home in the Candy Cane Lane neighborhood of West Allis, known for its extravagant Christmas displays, because of higher electricity costs.

We have the same amount out as always - but it's just a few strings in the bushes, as always. Do lights really pull that much power, if you're not the Griswold family?

The City of Milwaukee installed energy-saving blue LED lights on E. Kilbourn Ave. between N. Broadway and N. Water St.

Just my observation, but I don't see as many displays up now as I did this time last year.

Puhl's True Value Hardware at N. 68th St. and W. Milwaukee Ave. in Wauwatosa

That's the hardware store I go to. Never thought my hardware store would make it on FR. How cool!
