A HOMEOWNERS’ association has been accused of acting like Ebeneezer Scrooge this year after reportedly ordering residents to remove their Christmas lawn decorations.
One resident said she was “bummed out” after being handed a violation notice by her HOA last week over her Christmas display in her front yard.
The letter from the Cooley Station Community HOA in Gilbert, Arizona , said the decorations in front of Cindy Choquette’s house violated the community’s rules and regulations and she had to remove them.
“I was kind of bummed out because we provide so much cheer around here,” she told Gray Television affiliate AZ Family .
“Every day people walk around and express the joy we provide putting up decorations.”
Choquette was one of several homeowners in the community ordered to take down their decorations.
Some claimed they had been putting up decorations in their yards for years without any pushback.
