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.
Author Diana Rowland received some Christmas criticism over her decorations not fitting the holiday theme

So you want to talk about the true meaning of Christmas huh? Well lets start with the fact that the bible doesn't even mention the date of Jesus Christ's birth. In fact, for the first three centuries of Christianity’s existence, his birth wasn’t celebrated at all. When Roman church officials settled on December 25 at the end of the third century, they likely wanted the date to coincide with existing pagan festivals honoring Saturn (the Roman god of agriculture) and Mithra (the Persian god of light). That way, it became easier to convince Rome’s pagan subjects to accept Christianity as the empire’s official religion. So the true meaning of Christmas is to hijack a pagan festival and attach your own story to it.

Unless she's gonna make me look at this until March, I say she can have whatever she wants for Christmas. I can think poorly of her choices or style but to tell her she has to change it for me, what a cconservative douchebag. I would only take such approach if she chose a giant spider decorations, because I am strongly arachnophobic and it would really give me hard time walking past that.

So you want to talk about the true meaning of Christmas huh? Well lets start with the fact that the bible doesn't even mention the date of Jesus Christ's birth. In fact, for the first three centuries of Christianity’s existence, his birth wasn’t celebrated at all. When Roman church officials settled on December 25 at the end of the third century, they likely wanted the date to coincide with existing pagan festivals honoring Saturn (the Roman god of agriculture) and Mithra (the Persian god of light). That way, it became easier to convince Rome’s pagan subjects to accept Christianity as the empire’s official religion. So the true meaning of Christmas is to hijack a pagan festival and attach your own story to it.
