Don't you wish that utility companies such as your electric, water, telephone/ internet , and gas , etc. would cut us consumers a break during the month of December? They should realize that the entire nation needs to have that extra bit of cash we budget for our monthly bills to spend on Christmas gifts and all the extras we purchase during the holiday . Granted, the electric company loves the their extra profits during the month of December . Every time the twinkle lights twink, and everybody on Dec. 25th has their ovens turned on to 350 degrees cooking Christmas Dinner just makes the Electric Companies more rich. Yet, I have not mentioned the water company and their usage rates for running our dishwashers after dinner and for the use in cooking our Christmas meals.
Don't you think they should cut us some slack & not bill us during the December Holiday Season. It would be their way of saying " Merry Christmas " to us for being a good customer the entire year

In an ideal world I can envision this utopia U mention, but in the hard, cruel real world we live in (where money makes the world go round) the utility companies are just like Ebeneezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. They are counting their stacks of pennies and come knock on my door Christmas Eve saying they're gonna shut off the power if I don't pay them. Give me a break!
Merry Christmas/Happy New Year!!!

No! Business is business. BUT... public utilities should be forced to operate as efficiently as possible. They are almost always monopolies with no competition. Why then should they be allowed to spend millions on commercial advertising and other promotional material such as the flyers you receive in the bills they send you? Your utility bills could be cut significantly if the Public Service Commissions would stop this practice.

I had a car financed a while back, and every Dec they would offer the option to skip a payment for a 35.00 fee. I never used it because it would have cost me more interest in the long run
