'Twas the Fight Before Christmas

This guy is nothing more than a bully. He didn't get what he wanted so went nuts. It wasn't about religious freedom, it was all about a spoiled brat not getting his own way. Hopefully people in that neighbour is ok with the crazy guy next door.

I'm not a fan of HOA's in the least bit but I'm even less of a fan of bullies. And even less of bullies who feel entitled to throw their weight around to get what they want and revel in wasting the time and resources of the world at large. I hope Mr. Morris watches himself in the film, reads these reviews, and takes a good long hard look in the mirror and realizes everyone knows he never acted in good faith nor is he a good Christian. News flash, Morris, Christmas isn't about lights and gross displays of entitlement and the desire to be the center of attention. It's about loving and helping OTHERS!! You could have helped so many people with the money you spent on your show.

For the record, the filmmakers did an excellent job with the story.

I wanted to use stronger language than "jerk", but I don't use that kind of language.

It was obvious the HOA just wanted to keep down the disturbance associated with his Christmas "show", but this guy is a bully and has used the bogus "religious freedom" excuse to try to get his way (or the highway).

This is the kind of "Christian" that gives real Christians a bad name.

That said, the documentary was well done and I didn't down vote it for content - just be aware the content may make decent people furious.

Hard to watch as the man in question is a bully, hiding behind his religion.

Those poor neighbours!

HOAs are a pain in the bum, yes, but that wasn't the issue - someone told him NO for once and he threw a hissy fit.

There a several subplots within this story. One of them was Kristy Morris. It wasn't her idea to start the fight, but she also wants to be a good wife and support her husband. She is a brave woman who pays a massive price for that support. She talks about her family being forced into an existence of isolation, so many of life's experiences lost to time and facing down potential financial ruin with each court case. I felt sorry for her situation. I found myself wishing Jeremy would look into her eyes and perhaps see there are more important things in life than getting your way. But that didn't happen and at the end of this show, I felt sad for both Kristy and all the people living in that neighborhood. I hope all of them one day may find peace again.
