ST ANTHONY, Minn. We kind of decided because of the letter that it was just finally time to put up our lights, said St. Anthony Village resident Rachel Blodgett.
At least four of her neighbors received an anonymous letter shaming them for the Christmas decorations.
In the letter, the anonymous sender addresses the Christmas light displays in each yard, stating in part: The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions in our society and systemic biases against neighbors who don t celebrate Christmas, or who can t afford to, during these unprecedented times.
