Traditionally, we drive around on Xmas Eve to check out decorations and lights. We read about this house and had to have a look. Apparently, this home used to be quite the holiday attraction about 15 years ago. But then, some neighbors complained about the traffic lining up to see the display and from then on, Xmas headed south in this neighborhood.
Click for a closer look at the decapitated choir. You can see their heads taped onto traffic cones in the first photo. And once again, a no trespassing sign in a place where no one really wants to go anyway.
I have some pretty dicey neighbors which I suddenly have a new found appreciation for.
This fight has been going on for over 10 years. Property values have plummeted and the neighbors won't allow their grandchildren to visit because of how frightening this is.
These are the lights that the owner of this horror house shines in the direction of his neighbors. This goes on all year long.
Signs like this cover the exterior of the place. Click to enlarge.
This is the decapitated choir at night. This case has gone to the state supreme court and still there is no resolution. An example of mental health care in America...or lack thereof. Hug your neighbor today!

I live in the good half of my village, the other half is quite different, wars goes on between neighbors every now and again. We in this half talks with each other before problems occur, life gets so much easier then :-)
Have a great day!

Maybe the courts need to take a look at having some common sense laws on the books to protect the rights of the majority rather than giving an individual all the rights one. The saddest part of your story is that it looks like small children live in that twisted home. Can you imagine what they are being brainwashed to believe with parents who behave like that? Nothing says welcome to the neighborhood more than big signs saying FU.
original decorations and what the
neighbors opposed..... No winners here.....Sad.
We used to live next door to a very Griswold like family. YES, the lights were insanely bright, and it was as though the sun shone 24 hours a day. YES, the traffic was awful at times. But they took such joy in it, as did the hundreds of people who came by every year, some returning with their own children.
A small part of me completely understands why they did this.
I could not believe the signs on that home. I wonder if they went from the love of their extreme Christmas decorating to their extreme anger. Frightening. So now all the neighbors live with tension..and just under the surface hatred???
Joyce..I hope Christmas was wonderful for you and your family and that the street that is going though all that trouble is not too near you. :) You are one of those that make Christmas the wonderful experience it can be.
Love and hugs..and Happy New Year, Joyce!!
