As Greta would say,

ABC is being hypocritical, promoting excess electrical use, they should be canceled by the left.

Shove it back in their face.

I don’t hang lights for Christmas, but then I’m cheap and don’t want to pay an outrageous electric bill.

Nothing celebrates Christ more than "the choreographed chaos of hundreds of thousands of twinkling LED lights, animatronic lawn ornaments, and the oft-under-appreciated inflatable Santas, snowmen and reindeer."

Give me a few strings of incandescent C9 bulbs and I'm happy as a clam.

A few old-fashioned static painted plywood reindeer, Santa and a sleigh are nice, too.

Tiny small town of Dakota City, Iowa, has a family with an unbelievable tradition of Christmas lighting. Cost of electricity was over a thousand dollars a month years ago.

When I was a youngster, the whole family would get into the ‘68 Dart (7 total) and drive out across the town at night to see one large but tasteful Nativity Scene. It was something we thought of as special, even though my siblings and I weren’t especially devout at the time, my parents set a good example of what was important. (And yes I liked the downtown displays of candy canes and Santa Clauses and Christmas Trees on the street lamps. No more.)

I’m waiting for the satanists to go high tech.

I love the Christmas lights. Ho! Ho! Ho! Even though I don’t hang lights myself, I am glad others do it.

Would not want to live across the street or next door to any of the houses depicted in the video.

I place a difference in limits between residential display behavior and commercial displays, and, in my view, too many people care so much about “impressing” others they care zero about their neighbors.

Yes, they are impressive and super creative. I think they are also misplaced.
