There's a whole lot of the world (even limiting it to the part that celebrates Christmas :-) that isn't within casual walking distance for the group membership.

Considering I have yet to see any Christmas lights in our neighborhood (besides on our own tree, of course), I have to agree with the above sentiments. :-) Actually, the bulk of our neighbors won't put up their trees until Wigilia (Christmas Eve) and will probably keep them up until February. :-)
