The holiday spirit is being squashed by overzealous neighbors in Castle Rock, Colorado, where a family has been called on by police a staggering 20 times for the egregious offense of having “too bright” Christmas lights.

Erica and Joshua Montgomery have found themselves at the center of a baffling controversy, illustrating just how far some are willing to go in their attempts to stifle festive cheer.

Despite their modest display featuring icicle string lights and whimsical decorations—including a green alien in a Santa hat and a guitar-toting Santa—the Montgomerys have become targets in their own neighborhood.

"Other neighbors have far more elaborate displays," Joshua Montgomery stated, highlighting the absurdity of their situation.

For them, the festive season has turned into a nightmare, with police officers knocking on their door multiple times after anonymous complaints.

"It's very much almost ruined our holiday," Erica mentioned, echoing the sentiments of many Americans who value family traditions and the joy of the season over petty grievances.

In an age where celebration is often curtailed by the loudest voices, the Montgomerys are refusing to back down.

"We're not giving up. We’re going to keep up our display for our son," Joshua stated, embodying the resilient spirit that defines American families.

It’s a perfect example of how some people are quick to sacrifice communal joy for personal grievances, raising a crucial question: when did getting into the holiday spirit become a crime?

As the Montgomerys prepare to celebrate the season, they serve as a reminder that the heart of Christmas lies not in the opinions of others, but in the joy shared within families.

Let this story inspire us all to embrace the holiday spirit, put aside grievance, and remember that the season is about love, family, and togetherness. After all, the true meaning of Christmas should shine brighter than any set of lights.
