"...a woman who’d festooned her house with holiday decorations got a note from neighbours, blasting her for erecting “a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbours who don’t celebrate Christmas or who can’t afford to put up lights.”
And the COVID kicker that really made this story go viral: she’s a hospital nurse who staffs the local coronavirus ward.
“The idea of twinkling, colourful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society,” wrote the neighbours. “We must do the work of educating ourselves about the harmful impact an outward facing display like yours can have.”
