What state/region? I’m in northern NJ, where we are inundated with “replacement Americans”.

Christmas decorations are not an annual expense; they last for years, so I don’t think this is an economic thing (unless the homes are foreclosed/empty). I think it is demographic.

In what is left of our immediate and extended families, the gift exchanges are basically over, sending cards is about a 50% proposition, and the desire to decorate is nonexistent. It's as if sometime in the 90's we all took our foot off the gas and whatever momentum we still had came to a screeching-azz halt with the advent of Obama. It's only fractionally economic, more of a Carteresque malaise on steroids; if there is a demographic that consists of people who decided that the trappings of the Christmas season were no longer worth it, we'd qualify.

“What state/region?”

Central Illinois.

It’s not like I did a survey but just a general observation.
