What caused this change in thinking you may ask... well what caused us to stop dressing the way we did some years back or what caused us to stop hunting for food as we did around 18,000 years ago? Yes i agree it kinda is a waste of time, some things do get expensive but some don't they actually lower the cost of some stuff and "sales" are more evident this time of year. Christmas lights gives us a "Special feeling". Ok.... now.... you are dreaming...... WAKE UP!! Do we even bother to think of the feelings christmas lights can give us as i said we are too busy to be thinking of that.Money is what makes this world go around.....Where would you be if you had none?!?! yup things have changed and…. they will continue to.

It was ok for them 2 put up Christmas lights a couple years back, but all of a sudden they realized that it makes no sense anymore? What caused this change in thinking?, it's also alright for them to spend money on items that are most expensive this time of year, isn't that a 'waste of time'? Why not get rid of that, Christmas lights are a representation of Christmas, i don't really know the significance of them, but i know this much, it gives you that special feeling of christmas, people are too engrossed with making money, Money does not always make people happy, there's also the saying that "Money is the root of all evil" So people’s mentality of Christmas has changed over say what 2-3 years.

They have to sieze the moment.... as the saying goes "money makes the world go around"! Jus to add...maybe the reason why there are not much christmas lights anymore is because people are busy doing more important stuff than putting up some lights...everybody knows it's christmas don't have to put up light to show that. i agree with what you said about Jamaicans not having the “christmas spirit” anymore, but come on yeah, yeah it’s about christ an all but think of the bussiness places not having enough customers through out the year and christmas being the only time to get them.
