YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Texas’ Mountain Lodge HOA says the Gathright family’s Christmas lights create too much “glare” and threatened a $2,500 fine. The family says the lights “produce glow,” not glare — and that the HOA is targeting them, despite a neighborhood contest with a “Griswold” category inspired by National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

They’ve hired a lawyer and claim this violates their religious rights under Texas law.
