Minnesota Families Christmas Lights Shamed As Harmful To The Public Good
You just can’t make this stuff up!
Kim Hunt of Minnesota recently received an anonymous letter that shamed them for their Christmas lights! Here is how it went:
“I couldn’t help but notice your Christmas light display. During these unprecedented times, we have all experienced challenges which casual words just don’t describe what we’re feeling. The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don’t celebrate Christmas or who can’t afford to put up lights of their own. We must do the work of educating ourselves about the harmful impact an outward facing display like yours can have.”
The full letter is below. Several other “lit” houses also received a letter.

Here is what former PantherQB Derek Anderson said.
Saw this coming a long time ago. “If I can’t have it nobody can” or “ if they have it we all deserve it” that’s not life.

Maybe it’s just me but I’d put up more lights! Thoughts?
