Neighbors Are Saying This Woman’s Christmas Dragon Decorations Are Inappropriate, So She ‘Fixes’ It

One of the best parts of the holiday season is putting up extravagant Christmas decorations, however, just because you think your decorations are fun doesn’t mean your neighbors, who think it is their business with what Christmas ornaments you decorate your yard, will agree. Author Diana Rowland decided to deck her halls with three large and colorful dragons as her outdoor Christmas decorations – but not everyone was onboard with her creative reptile theme.

In a tweet that went viral, Rowland posted a photo of the elaborate Christmas inflatables set alongside an anonymous letter she received from a disgruntled about her yard decorations neighbor. Not to be intimidated by an uptight Grinch and not to ruin the Christmas spirit, the dragon enthusiast decided to respond in the best way she knew how. Scroll down below to read the note and how she fought back for her epic Christmas decorations ideas.

    Didn't we all learn not to mess with the Mother of Dragons? This is amazing. I wish my neighbours would put up dragons for Christmas :'D

    She should have more appropriate stuff, you know, flying reindeer, talking snowmen, elves, magic nutcrackers. Things that relate to the true Christian meaning of Christmas.

    Not everyone believes or celebrates the same holidays. So...if she wants to put pretty dragons up on her lawn during a time where putting lights on your lawn is acceptable, then so be it! :)

    America is filled with toxic Christianity by that I mean banging on about God but not having love & peace in your heart and being disrespectful to others, this lady is a good person. If she wants Dragons on her lawn so be it, its HER lawn and the idea to give to a food bank is great. Have a God,dont have a God just dont be a d**k. Merry Christams Dragon lovers!

    Yes! And "this calls for more dragons" is my new go-to phrase for any situation.

    Good for her. I like that she didn't cave to the hypocritical Christian in her neighborhood but I mostly like that she ended it with charity

    Why can't people just mind their own damn business. As a christain I hate when people make us all look like extreme unstable nutters. There is so many problems in the world which needs attending to. Christmas decorations isn't one. Furthermore christmas is an orginal pagan holiday so really as christains should we even be celebrating it?

    The tag line to a joke about someone complaining to Jesus about the commercialization of Christmas was, "What do I care? I was born in September!"

    Ahh, passive aggressive anonymous notes, my favorite. For the people that don't have a spine but think they're in the right

    "Your neighborS." Translation: "I'm the only one who objects. Your dragons make me vaguely uncomfortable, so I'm going to invent neighborhood consensus to force you to make me feel better by removing them." People need to remember how to live and let live...

    Well, it is Louisiana. The only reason they aren't at the bottom of the list of great states is Mississippi.
