Virginia Postrel, the author of the beforementioned book The Substance of Style, comments on how a changing economy affects the annual aesthetic lighting displays we see around our neighborhoods.

Companies have been started for the sole purpose of contracting your lighting setup, and landscaping companies now expand their services in the winter for such contracts. Why, "the pleasure of twinkling Christmas lights offers real value."
