‘Tis the Season!

This homeowner was told they had to take their Halloween decorations down in mid-November. It wouldn’t have been any harder to remove the skeleton than to add the hat, but where’s the fun in that? It had to feel supremely satisfying to get one over on the HOA by turning it into a Christmas decoration.

On the one hand, I get what the HOA was trying to accomplish. They want a uniform neighborhood with brainwashed houses that all tick each and every box of perfection, but life is so much better when communities have colorful personalities. We have gargoyles by our mailbox year round. People have knocked on our door and told us they love them.
