This.
Only the tree gets turned off when I retire.

I get up at 4:00am, Chief, and go to the gym. By 8:00pm I’m struggling.

Solar, so mine stay on all night.

Off @ 10pm every night except Christmas Eve. They stay on all night for Christmas Eve...so Santa can find us of course.

A computer controls mine, so no. They turn off on their own when the computer shuts down.

The few strings of outside lights on the upstairs porch rails are LED and are left on all night. When the tree is put up and lights used, they get turned off at night and whenever nobody is home.
Too damn many Christmas tree fires due to faulty light wiring to take the chance.

Depends on if I forget to tell Alexa to turn them off. It's cool though because I found this cool stuff that looks like snow and is fireproof. Just poured it all of the house and yard.

There's a house with one of those sparkly laser things that flashes blue. Every time I drive by it at night I think a cop is after me.

I have a display synchronized to music with a timer set to come on at 5 and go off at 10 PM. We have several hundreds of strands of lights, one inflatable, 20 light up candy canes, 2 mega trees, 10 mini trees, and a few smaller light up plastic blow globe decorations. Everything is led and there is no difference in the light bill.

Maybe, but you have to take a stand somewhere.

Here's two better questions.
1. Do you leave your lights on when it's raining?
2. Do you leave your inflatables on 24/7, assuming your lights are on a timer? The inflatables never all come up when you turn them on, and if it rained and they were off, they have puddles on them that the air can't overcome the weight. But i don't like leaving those little fans on for a month straight without every turning off.

How much does that affect your light bill?
a 100 light LED strand pulls around 0.05amps
1 amp running 24/7 for 4 weeks is about $14, assuming 10 cents a kilowatt hr. If you have 20 strands of lights, that's just 1 amp. 20 strands of 100 lights is a good bit, about 450ft of lights.
The old C9 lights, just 25 of them, pulled 4amps a strand. The C9 LED lights pull 0.06amps.
Inflatables with LED lights in them run anywhere from .6 to 1.5 amps on average, depending on their size.
