Well I expect the reverse of this would be rearranging their yard ornaments to spell out swear words OR replacing key characters with.....lets say.......adult blowup dolls.

Want to get a fight going? Put a Santa Clause bowing down in a nativity set. Yes, someone actually did this in my town to elicit a reaction. And they did get it.

Yeah, this is pretty annoying. My neighbors once put up a giant Santa Claus made out of lights that was waving with one hand and urinating with the other. After that I started to realize what rednecks they really were. To make things worse, they would leave it on all night so it would blink on and off near my window. I think a lot of the people in my neighborhood were embarrassed to be seen talking to them after that.

. . . this brings to mind a scene I saw earlier this week; a row of at least four other undecorated houses, and then this one house in the midst of them with not one, not two, but FIVE huge blow-up figures of various designs (a snowman, two reindeer, santa, and something else I can't remember), all lit up merrily in the otherwise dark night. Not that they needed to be lit--the house was wrapped in Christmas lights, both white AND multi-colored (yikes). And those little dangly-lights, too, the ones that are supposed to be like icicles. Some lights spelled out Christmas greetings. AND a nativity scene. Was this guy celebrating or advertising, I don't know, but it was painfully gaudy.

Whaddya mean, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse aren't part of Christmas. On my damn lawn they are, right next to the nativity scene with the crack dealer, the pimp and the ho. All backed up with 5000 watts of coloured strobe and 24 hours of Wu Tang Clan and Tupac at 300 decibels. My neighbours haven't complained, so they must love it.

i like looking at Christmas displays myself. It would be nice if someone has thousands of flasing lights in their yard if they would remember to turn them off at a decent hour so they will not be flashing in another neighbors windows all night long.

This suggestion could go under Be a Bad Neighbor, but I feel it could so easily assist in the goal of being disliked that it deserves its own category. Starting the first week of November, construct an obnoxious and distracting Christmas display in your front yard, complete with flashing lights, Nativity Scene, and sexily clad Santa Babes dancing suggestively to Christmas carols piped through an impressive sound system. Fireworks would add drama to the scene. Put flyers up around town publicizing your decorations, and distribute goodie bags to the gawkers. Chances are, you'll create a public nuisance and traffic should be backed up for miles around your neighborhood. Your neighbors will detest you, and will probably go to court or do whatever is possible to put an end to your obnoxious Christmas display. Then you can give interviews to the local newspaper and TV stations decrying the Grinches and Scrooges in your neighborhood. By the end of the holidays, you should have effectively alienated your neighbors and will more than likely be looking for a new place to live.
