This woman had the perfect response to a neighbour who didn’t like her ‘demonic’ Christmas dragon decorations
You can’t choose your neighbours, right? And you can’t choose what Christmas decorations they put up outside their home.
A woman called Diana Rowland shared the hilariously angry note she was sent by her neighbour who wasn’t overly keen on her dragon-themed festive display.
When we say ‘wasn’t overly keen …’, well, have a read for yourself.
Our dragon holiday display got fan mail! (And apparently the “true meaning of Christmas” involves judgmental bullshit?) 😂 pic.twitter.com/7NLZKkEW2x

And here are the ‘offending’ items.
Her tweet went wildly viral with no shortage of suggestions what she should do next.
I’m also rather baffled as to how the dragons are only marginally acceptable at Halloween. I guess they think I need MORE dragons??

This calls for more dragons

I think the problem your neighbor has with the display is that you have three wise dragons, but no baby Jesus dragon, or Mary and Joseph dragons. It is an incomplete dragon nativity.

I literally just ordered another one for pickup tomorrow.

And now it looks like this.
An update to yesterday's tweet re the letter I received from an anonymous, judgy-mcjudgyface neighbor who disapproved of my dragon display and asked me to consider removing them: I have added more dragons. pic.twitter.com/OxsFQs5yQ1

Oh, and she did this, which was our favourite bit.
In the spirit of neighborhood harmony, I have placed halos on the dragons. They are now angels. Ezekial 1:1-28. I’ll fight anyone who says different.
Here’s what people made of it.
Yo, keep that stuff up year round. I wish I had neighbors as cool as you.

I think a gofundme should be set up so that we can chip in to help you delight your neighbor with more and more dragons. #MAWRdragons

I’m an Anglican priest and will be spending Christmas preaching about Jesus and the Nativity…and even I would be tempted to just order more dragons and write a one word response: pic.twitter.com/liRuUCUu9n

And here’s how Diana wrapped up the whole kerfuffle, with a perfectly festive gesture.
