Neighbours put up Christmas lights after elderly man sent 'bullying' letter

People in Homewood, Alabama have put up their Christmas lights very early this year, after one of their neighbours, Mr Frank, received a letter asking him to take his decorations down.

Mr Frank said he kept his lights up to stop traffic from crashing into his tree. There was a danger of someone getting hurt.

When they heard the news, about 30 homeowners took out their Christmas decorations and put them up in their gardens.

"It's been a neat way for the community to slow down, and make it a priority to get to know him.

"It's an opportunity to take time to stop and make sure he knows we're there and we appreciate him."
