Wy do people leave holiday lights & xmas trees on past New Years? Bad luck to shut off B4 new years but past?

I understand that many people believe that it is bad luck to shut down until after January 1st, but I always begin taking everything down on January 2nd. Even as I write this, I drive by neighborhoods with full outdoor lighting and a tree in the window. Is there something I don’t get?

Why are they just starting to use LED's in everything?

LEDs have been around for a long time. The have always been inexpensive and never used a lot of energy to run. Why did it take this long for them to start using them in all these applications they are using them in now? Flashlights, outdoor lighting, christmas lighting, etc…. You use to only see them as like lights for your computers HD being read or other simple lighting situations on electronics.

Is a ground wire the same as a neutral wire?

I got a programmable switch for my outdoor lighting. It says it needs a neutral wire. Is this the same as a ground wire? It requires three wires total.
This is the U.S. I actually ordered the switch myself. I’m the clueless one. ha ha My husband is in the construction field, so he can handle wiring it. I just wanted to see if I ordered the right switch. Thanks!

Could This Have Anything to do With Humanity's Changing Perspectives on God?

As the use of outdoor lighting increases, less people can see the details of the night sky. Ancient humans first looked to the night sky with wonder & worshiped varieties of sky gods. In fact, many modern religions still look "up" to God and expect to "rise" to Heaven. Could the increase of outdoor lighting and the dimming of the night sky have any effect on humanity’s perception of God & religion? Are we looking more toward the earth & ourselves as the night sky fades from sight, and therefore ignoring what inspired ancient humans’ search for God?
