Last December, I watched the HOA send letters to half the street. Apparently, some lights were “too bright” or “not uniform.” One family had spent weeks creating a small winter wonderland. HOA said: “You must remove the inflatable Santa.” Neighbors whispered. Some laughed. Some fumed. A couple even debated secretly leaving lights on at night, just to test the rules. Power, control, and Christmas—never thought they’d mix this way. #House #HOA #NeighborDrama 🎄
