WHY all this bother about the Christmas lights? They are provided by retailers keen to exploit people and make us spend even more money.

I'm certain that they are not sincere!

There is such a lot of hype relating to Christmas, with constant pressure on consumers to spend and spend with many people getting themselves further in to debt.

The provision of lights is purely commercial, aimed at generating further financial gain.
