yea pretty much, you don't want to get out done by your neighbor so you pretty much just get at war with them. There's a few commercials like that with Christmas lights, there's even a movie like that called "Deck the Halls". Its all just about competition. The world has become so obsessed with material things all we know how to do is make ourselves look better by buying the most expensive things we see(well not all but you get my point)
