Displays of the season

A letter writer from Middletown wondered whether all those houses and lawns bedecked with hundreds, if not thousands, of lights are wasting electrical energy and money. We're all supposed to have caught the spirit of the season the week before Christmas, but he raises an interesting point. All those lights have to boost the homeowner's electricity bill. And are house displays what Christmas is really about?

The writer is not against celebrating Christmas. He suggests reasonable indoor tree lighting. And all that money for outdoor displays should be redirected to charitable and relief organizations. Is he on to something, or is it "Bah, Humbug!''?

Maybe it's because all of the ACLU clones have tried to take Chrismas away from everyone, and we should worship them instead.
People wish to show that they are proud to be Christians.
First the goverment buildings, now private homes. Don't you people have any shame
