RE: I guess I'm one of those people now...

Xmas has been here for awhile. It's just a fun day when Santa comes, more a kid's special day than holiday. But no one really put up any lights until the past few years. The cynical part of me thinks it was probably department stores looking for more money, trying to push people to buy lights. But I don't really know. Maybe there was a celebrity that started putting up lights and everyone wanted to copy.
