False I love a good Christmas light display!
I could do without the ones that make it look like daylight again but when you do it tastefully it brings big smiles in my heart.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Noooo. If there wasn't any it wouldn't feel like Christmas. Its like saying we don't need a Christmas tree. In my native country, Christmas is also the festival of lights. It sort of gives a safe alternative to candles on a tree and house which was used in past history. It also creates joy and helps make it special. I know some people who are of different religions and think Christians just want to show off with all their elaborate decorations in churches and stuff. They should research how all these things came about first because it hurts when one says something bad about your faith. Don't say Christmas lights are a waste since as i said they mean the same as candles. Its just like how oil represents strength and the white cloth represents purity.

It is celebrated by the entire spectrum of our culture and has become largely a secular holiday. In that respect it is an orgy of consumption and waste. And it isnt placed on any altar at all. To some it is a sacred holiday and treated as such. To most it is a combination of both. Your question is true, it is false and it is true and false.

Christmas light displays can be nice if not too ostentatious or done as a way to keep up with the Joneses.

False! To see Christmas lights shows the world the spirit of Christmas is alive. It brings hope and joy to those who no longer have it. It brings joy to all of us. I do not do it for various reasons. But for those who can and do God bless. Merry Christmas.

It is "Bah, humbug". If you dont like Christmas Lights, dont put them up and dont look at them when you pass. Alot of people do like them, so get over it.

True. It is improving all the time.
Although, with LED lights now, the consumption of electricity is lot lower. I hope everyone catch on and contribute towards saving.

False for the little kids who enjoy the lights and the decorations. And just for the appearence of them if you put them up good.
