I wonder if you could look at use of electricity the night before and the night after christmas as a proxy for how many Christmas lights a region uses.

That is, on dec 24th, people have most of their Christmas lights up. On the 26th, many don’t. Could this be a good proxy of how Christmassy a place is? The 26th and the 24th are pretty similar, except that one is before and after Christmas.

Of course, there are lots of problems with this idea (maybe in some places people are less likely to stop lighting their lights on the 26th)

Way to make we need naive, Luke.

The few people with whom I’ve shared this idea like it.

Also, sequels have an incentive *not* to be great. Normal movies need to be good to get reviewed at all. Sequels don’t.

Directors know this. They should invest less in making sequels good.
