I'm with the "Grinchlike" neighbor.

Imaging just trying to get home at night after a long day at work, having to crawl through the traffic to get to your own driveway.

Imagine trying to back out of your driveway after dark and get to a family member's or a friend's house while tens or hundreds of people are trying to walk or drive by your neighbor's house to see his Christmas display.

I think that the display of Christmas spirit is nice, but this guy really should have had more consideration for his neighbors. If he had, the display probably would not have been banned. Something more appropriate might have been "on Saturday and Sunday nights, from 8pm to 11pm" or some such. For him to dismiss his neigbors as "Grinches" because they object to a display that attracts hundreds of people to the neighborhood is the same kind of juvenile namecalling that the Left has been engaging in for years. I think any reasonable person would complain.

Well, then, it's unanimous: we all stand with Nguyen. Freepers believe in that great American right: the right to be left alone. This was way too intrusive.

I wonder if the Aerts vote demonrat?

I feel sad for you too. Where do you wish to draw the line? Shall the neighborhood put you in charge as to what is acceptable and what is not? Since we are there, what is your limit of acceptability and who and why should anyone rely on your opinion?

Sorry, I am on Mr. Nguyen's side and you should be thankful I'm not his neighbor because it would be an all out war to try and out do him>>>> LOL!!!!

3 to 4 weeks out of a year people try to express their joy in an increasingly fleeting holiday and ultimately they will piss someone off. Ignore it and get over it...................The doldrums of winter are going to be here too soon and last too long................
