A neighbor anonymously called Christmas dragons in her yard ‘demonic.’ So she put more up.

Diana Rowland’s husband bought her the dragons as a birthday gift a few years ago.

The inflatable lawn ornaments, black and red, purple and green, were the epitome of cool to the former police officer and morgue worker, who is now a writer of sci-fi books.

And after what Rowland says was a smashing debut one Halloween, she decided to set the dragons up again for Christmas, outfitting them for the holiday season with garland, Santa hats and blue shawls meant to evoke biblical stories. The neighborhood loved them, she said. And she did, too.

This year was scheduled to be the fourth that the dragons would uneventfully grace her yard for Christmas.

But then an anonymous letter came in the mail.

“YOUR DRAGON DISPLAY IS ONLY MARGINALLY ACCEPTABLE AT HALLOWEEN,” it said. “IT IS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE AT CHRISTMAS. IT MAKES YOUR NEIGHBORS WONDER IF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN A DEMONIC CULT.”

The Gladys Kravitz's of the world should mind their own business.

Sure, a little bit nuts, but better than Shummer and Pelosi.

People forget, but there is an element on the right (super busybody usually super-fundamental Christian) that's just as toxic and evil as the busybody "woke" left.

Yeah, some cartoon dragon looking things are a sign of evil. The correct response is **** off.

Your property, not breaking the law, neighbor has their own opinion of the dragons, that is their right, just as it is her right to keep them. In other words, if you don't like them, don't look at them and keep your opinions to yourself!

With all the inflatable characters people put up,there is nothing wrong with dragons. People just have to have something to complain about.
