Yes, I can imagine it, annie. I have an American friend-lovely woman etc, but each year, she has this 10 foot xmas tree. If I tried putting that in my home, it would make a hole in the ceiling. Then she has spentwhat must be the equivalent of a small country's total income on lighting for the outside of her house.
Some people here are starting to get a bit like that, but it is in pockets, not everyone does it.
I can recall when I was young, there was really only one stretch in Melbourne where it was done. In a place called the boulevard, where there are a lot of very wealthy homes. The large gardens would be all decked out and in the weeks before xmas, it became a bit of a tourist thing. Go there, park somewhere nearby and walk the street. It still is. I took my daughter when she was young. A lot of the kids are in just pyjamas as it is warm etc, so quite festive.
I don't think it is the same when people are just driving by.
Glad I dont have to pay the power bills for some of them. I believe it can come to an extra $1,000.

Well the Goths have all gone! I wonder if they will accept me as a random replacement.
