St. Anthony, Minnesota resident Kim Hunt received an anonymous letter from a neighbor on Monday chastising she and her husband for their Christmas light display.

“I couldn’t help but notice your Christmas light display. During these unprecedented times, we have all experienced challenges which casual words just don’t describe what we’re feeling.

The letter then challenges Hunt to “respect the dignity of all people, while striving to learn from differences, ideas, and opinions of our neighbors.”
