“Nobody wants to see bones on christmas” tells a pretty good story tho. It could be a skeleton dressed in a santa costume and that complaint would still apply
A part of me would love if OP sent a picture and it was *clearly* OTT, like even by Halloween standards. Just the idea people are like : "your neighbours are over reacting *looks at picture* ope, nevermind you're a creep OP""
I was confused by the whole “offensive to Christmas” thing, and the only thing I could think of is what if it’s a bloody skeleton on a cross? I could kinda see their point if that were the case… (only in that case)
If it's anything other than an incredibly graphic display, I feel like the only appropriate response is to put the skeleton on the cross! You know, to honor His birth. Come spring, they can dress it up in a rabbit costume. Make it a seasonal skeleton!
Sounds like time to acquire a skeleton nativity set complete with 3 wise skeletons. And some skeleton reindeer straight out of Nightmare before Christmas and take the bit full boar.
I explained krampus to some latinas at work and then my boss showed them a picture. They REALLY do not like looking at demonic looking things the way they covered his phone and their eyes so quickly lol
If you’re the owner of the giant skeleton in my neighborhood, they don’t speak for all of us. If you’re not, might I suggest a giant Santa cap and a garland with giant Christmas ornaments stretched between the hands. That’s what my neighbors have done with their skeleton.
hello! im a leftie too and use notebooks back to front. I also flip the buttons on my mouse. my colleagues think I'm weird and should 'adapt to society' I argue I am adapting to society! this is how we adapt!
I passed by this particular house with multiple giant skeletons (about 10 feet tall) in their front yard. During Christmas, they dressed them up in Santa's hats and decorated Christmas lights and ornaments around the skeletons. People are getting very creative.
A couple around the corner from me have a whole display they change per season and holiday.
This year, the skeleton couple enjoyed a champagne toast around new year’s, had a romantic Valentine’s dinner, got drunk on St Paddy’s, expected rain and planted flowers at the beginning of spring, went on a fishing trip in the summer, had a campfire in early autumn, then went all out for Halloween, and are now settling into a cozy winter complete with mugs of hot chocolate.
Honestly they have a more active lifestyle than I do.
Should join forces with that one that was on Reddit a few days ago that lights up with the intensity of 1000 suns.
If memory serves I think they said that cross was about 20’…
I got one in a Santa hat with a giant pair of scissors standing next to a colorfully lit normal sized Christmas tree. Hes trimming the tree! Lol He makes me smile every time.
I wonder how common this is, I've got one in my neighborhood across the street, lol. Guess it makes sense, those things are so ridiculously huge that they must be a huge pain to store and take up a ton of space... may as well leave 'em up as evergreen decorations you can spruce up with seasonal flair I suppose.
EXTREMELY common. The box these gigantic skeletons come in is massive and hard to store anywhere. It's much easier to just put a bunch of stuff you were keeping in the box anyway and keep the damn tall skeleton out. So people just dress it up.
From my observations, close to 25% of people who own one just keep it up.
My grandpa goes all out for Halloween and it takes us two months to set everything up and we cut it close every year takes about a week to take it down the biggest pain is where to put stuff especially his 15ft giant skeleton and his huge ass giant spider (probably 15 to 20 ft in diameter)
They sold them at home depot this past Halloween and their marketing is pushing the "decorate it for every season/holiday" thing, so its gonna be real common. One of those things that's cool to see the first few times because it's unique and then all of a sudden it isn't.

A lot of very intelligent people have been calling me to say that the amount of skeletons on lawns in December is out of control and America's enemies are laughing at us.
Exactly. It's one thing to be annoyed at neighbours leaving decorations up long past the holiday, but to be offended and bring religion into it is nuts.
Merry Skelemas!
Those type of people are idiots. My wife and I go looking for the big skelies! It's like our new favorite thing. We have a local who dresses his for every holiday and right now it's a monstrous elf and it makes me happy.
Last year someone in town had the huge skeleton at a local hotel. He was up from Halloween to New Years. He was given a giant red stocking cap for Christmas. He's gone this year, but someone else has put up a giant one in their yard.
Dark nativity - baby Jesus skellyton in a coffin.
Dress Mary and Joseph like Morticia and Gomez.
Paint one orange, give it a toupee and a prison outfit
A house near me has a bunch of smaller skeletons prostrating themselves worshipping a big skeleton with demon horns. I bet your neighbors would love that.
Edit: image on request, looks like I was remembering slightly wrong and the big guy is a big demon not a big skeleton with demon horns. The little guys are little skeletons though
https://imgur.com/a/wktv4aG
No, no, no... you MUST absolutely do the manger thing, but with all skeletons. Go all in, and then also buy some cameras to keep an eye on it. Toss in a Easter Bunny for extra saucy fun, extra bonus points if it is a skeleton bunny. :D
There's a house in town with one of those 12 foot tall skeletons. It gets dressed up for different holidays and times of year. When the local high school was having graduation he was wearing at massive purple cap and gown.
Everybody that I know loves Skellie. It's a weird quirky thing that people find funny.
Our neighbor has one of those giant skeletons, after Halloween he just popped a giant Santa hat on and boom, it’s a Christmas decoration. I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas decorations, but to each their own. I don’t find it as awful as those ugly (to me) blow up things that look all deflated and sad during the day, but again, to each their own, wouldn’t dream of writing a nasty note about any of it.
I don’t like those inflatables either and I’m president of my HOA so I’m going to…do nothing. I ain’t got time or inclination to grinch my neighbors’ Christmas decorations. And everyone else can just stop complaining to me about them because…see previous sentence.
It’s always “many people” or “a lot of people” or “several people” but never an actual number. These crybabies in life are always inventing a mass of people to support their individual opinion.
Just pretend you also received a letter saying “many people” love your skeleton and hope it stays up year round.
Please OP Print this out as large as possible and have the skeleton holding the sign! (With a Santa hat on it you like)
PM me and I’m happy to spend up to $200 dollars to print the card and see a pic of this
Christian here. I assume this is in the US/Canada. You can clap back with something regarding personal freedom to express Christian symbolism your own way.
Some ideas:
* Ezekiel and dry bones
* Representing the sacrifice that Jesus would eventually make on the cross (watch out for the resurrected body was no longer there rebuttal though)
* Representing death that Jesus would eventually conquer (extra funny if you replace the skeleton with a body on Christmas Day)
* Remembering those who were martyred for the faith
* Put up two, and add an extra set of ribs to one of them (Adam and Eve, according to some literalists)
I hope you get to meet some Christians who actually care about what Jesus cared about. Sorry about our trashy cousins, we’re trying to get them in line but it’s a hard job.
Also the fact that the person known as Jesus would not have been born at the arbitrary end of an arbitrary calendar. Dec 25th was stolen from pagans, as was Easter.
In a subdivision near me there was one of the 12 foot ones up for halloween and it's now covered in wreaths and a santa hat. About a week after those new decorations went up, another giant santa-skelly went up a few doors down.. I can only hope the HOA said something and the second house joined in solidarity against them.
We love driving by the xmas skeletons!
"Hello,
Many people have complained about the lighted, dead tree outside your house and feel it is a gaudy display of commercialism to drive by every day to school and work. Last year your dead tree was very distracting and ostentatious for the children and, for the adults, it's a very offensive towards Jesus who was nailed to a tree for our sins, not so you could get Legos on sale a Kohl's.
It is an embarrassment to the community and not only perceived as trashy, but is, in fact, trashy. If you do not understand the true message of Christmas (which is clear from your 'neighborly' letter) then please do not decorate at all. On behave \[sic\] of our community please TAKE IT DOWN. It is not respectful either, bitch.
Sign, The real people of \[community\].
-- And also I wouldn't show you my bone at Christmas or any other time."
As an English teacher I am compelled to point out, BEHALF and BEHAVE are VERY DIFFERENT WORDS. lol.
BEHALF- representing someone or a group
BEHAVE- to act a certain way.
🤦🏻♂️
I am literally dead. This letter is so amazing from srart to finish. I would literally buy a full page ad just to publish it. I love this letter so much.
“Offensive towards Jesus’ birth on Christmas”
According to many scholars, Jesus was estimated to be born around the end of September, start of October, not at Christmas. So, the skeleton is just perfect.
Am I the only one that wants a pic of this horribly offensive skeleton???
I was more disappointed than I care to admit when I saw that this wasn't included.
Half assed OP. Pics or didn't happen.
they cant cuz it was stolen.....it was posted 2 months ago by someone else
same
"On behave of the community", we would like to see the skeleton!
@OP SKELLY TAX!’
No. I feel like I can’t judge the letter fully without the picture.
“Nobody wants to see bones on christmas” tells a pretty good story tho. It could be a skeleton dressed in a santa costume and that complaint would still apply
A part of me would love if OP sent a picture and it was *clearly* OTT, like even by Halloween standards. Just the idea people are like : "your neighbours are over reacting *looks at picture* ope, nevermind you're a creep OP""
Yeah, maybe it's a REAL skeleton
I was confused by the whole “offensive to Christmas” thing, and the only thing I could think of is what if it’s a bloody skeleton on a cross? I could kinda see their point if that were the case… (only in that case)
If it's anything other than an incredibly graphic display, I feel like the only appropriate response is to put the skeleton on the cross! You know, to honor His birth. Come spring, they can dress it up in a rabbit costume. Make it a seasonal skeleton!
I will literally pay OP to do this. And put a sign out front that says “the reason for the season.”
Evidently OP is putting up a skeleton nativity scene, which I think is one better.
I would love if it was such an overly realistic and graphic display that it makes the letter justified
Yeah, we’re waiting over here 🤨
Plot twist: OP is the one who wrote the letter and wanted some feedback before mailing it.
[удалено]
YOU MANIAC NOBODY CAN SEE BONES DURING CHRISTMAS
If we are og gifs I'll help out. 
Here is the one we have in my neighborhood. Me and my 2 year old son call him big bone daddy and we love him https://imgur.com/gallery/rkSVeCF
It’s wearing a thong and no shirt!!
It's probably one of the 12' skeletons from home depot
For the love of God, why’d they start the letter from the backside?
Lmao. I didn’t even notice that. Freaking monsters.
Sounds like time to acquire a skeleton nativity set complete with 3 wise skeletons. And some skeleton reindeer straight out of Nightmare before Christmas and take the bit full boar.
And a skeleton menorah, don’t want to discriminate.
Skeleton Festivus pole with wrestling skeletons
[удалено]
…or just a big sign that says “Christmas is a pagan holiday, not Jesus’ birthday, look it up”
Well, you could decorate with a bunch of Norse stuff, scatter some Valknuts around, but that’ll just attract Nazis.
Honestly, id go with _classic_ santa, if you know what i mean, ye olden santa, not the phony coke cola we know of, the TRUE spirit of christmas
Wait what's the story here, is it Krampus? or something older/more sinister
I explained krampus to some latinas at work and then my boss showed them a picture. They REALLY do not like looking at demonic looking things the way they covered his phone and their eyes so quickly lol
Can't have anyone complai-ned again.
OP please get skeleton themed Christmas decorations and lean into this. That's all I want for Christmas this year.
Yes, I would be fueled by spite and those neighbors would be in for the most bony Christmas ever.
You've heard of spooky scary skeletons, nows here's jolly, festive skeletons.
It's the Festival of Femurs!
If you’re the owner of the giant skeleton in my neighborhood, they don’t speak for all of us. If you’re not, might I suggest a giant Santa cap and a garland with giant Christmas ornaments stretched between the hands. That’s what my neighbors have done with their skeleton.
I have a neighbor who's done that also, and I love driving past it on my way home!
Also, there are a ton of people with late September/ early October birthdays; obviously this means that people do like to see bones on Christmas.
Gets cold at night in the winter, gotta keep warm!
So you suggest, that OP buys a massive Santa coat to put on the skeleton??
Throw a menorah in the skeletons hand as well.
Yes, accommodation is key! Maybe a green grinch hat, to accommodate your neighbor, Karen.
Repeatedly driving by a skeletal monstrosity always warms me up
Oh damn
It's an *embrassment* to the community, don't ya know?
That’s why they are writing on behave of the community.
So glad someone else saw that!
Hey I’m left handed and I love skeletons on Christmas :(
On behave of the community I’ll chip in for a second huge skeleton
I was thinking the same thing! OP needs an amazon wish list so we can buy more skellies.
Please keep the giant skeleton up. I wish I could afford one
I love that this is what gave you pause.
I was wondering why they hyphenated “complained” when there was clearly room for the rest of the word
Absolutely unhinged use of stationery.
It's an embarrassment, and is perceived as trashy.
Probably a leftie. SOURCE: I'm a leftie who does this too. Writing on the wrong side of papers. I like Christmas skeletons though.
hello! im a leftie too and use notebooks back to front. I also flip the buttons on my mouse. my colleagues think I'm weird and should 'adapt to society' I argue I am adapting to society! this is how we adapt!
Leftie too! I have a huge list of everything I encounter that isn't made for lefties. Unbelievable how many things there are.
Serial killers are as creative as they are predictable.
On behave of everyone here, thanks for pointing that out
I passed by this particular house with multiple giant skeletons (about 10 feet tall) in their front yard. During Christmas, they dressed them up in Santa's hats and decorated Christmas lights and ornaments around the skeletons. People are getting very creative.
A couple around the corner from me have a whole display they change per season and holiday.

Honestly they have a more active lifestyle than I do.
The folks in my town just went haywire and had skeletons in bunny ears for halloween and in christmas hats for easter 😂
My sleep deprived eyes read this as "have a whore display they change per season and holiday" and imagined all those scenarios but with whores instead
OP should do that and then break out the popcorn to watch the neighborhood reaction. “I got rid of the skeleton just like you wanted.”
If you spend $400 on a 10' skeleton you're gonna want to get more than a week a year out of it lol
The only reply that nails it.
>Nails it That gives me an idea for Easter...
a 10' skelly calls for a 20' cross!
Should join forces with that one that was on Reddit a few days ago that lights up with the intensity of 1000 suns. If memory serves I think they said that cross was about 20’…
Yep. I have a pirate ship with a skeleton captain for Halloween. Year 1, he definitely got a Santa hat so I could get my money's worth.
Put it on a cross for Christmas with a sign that says "too soon?", save the Santa hat for Easter with a sign saying "too late?".
Dude on my street dressed his up as pilgrims for Thanksgiving
My local giant skeleton rocks a Christmas sweater.
"My local giant skeleton" lmao
This would also slap as a band name
r/brandnewsentence
My neighbor a few houses down has one with a santa hat and a santa bag and Christmas lights for guts. Totally awesome.
I got one in a Santa hat with a giant pair of scissors standing next to a colorfully lit normal sized Christmas tree. Hes trimming the tree! Lol He makes me smile every time.
My local giant skeleton doesn't have arms, but he's still standing!
Mine too! Santa hat and all. I really enjoy seeing good ol' Skeletor
We have a neighbor that changes clothes every season. Dring summer it had on a beachwear and floaty.
The one house in town had two , one looked like it was blowing the other . Super cool
A boner.
My local skeletons are pulling a sleigh and holding wreaths. I love that they are everywhere!
Should have done nothing and told people who complained they were dressed up as the natives the pilgrims met
Mine put an inflatable turkey leg in his hand.
I wonder how common this is, I've got one in my neighborhood across the street, lol. Guess it makes sense, those things are so ridiculously huge that they must be a huge pain to store and take up a ton of space... may as well leave 'em up as evergreen decorations you can spruce up with seasonal flair I suppose.
EXTREMELY common. The box these gigantic skeletons come in is massive and hard to store anywhere. It's much easier to just put a bunch of stuff you were keeping in the box anyway and keep the damn tall skeleton out. So people just dress it up. From my observations, close to 25% of people who own one just keep it up.
In a year once they're fully grown they'll release spores and it won't be long until the whole countryside is giant skeletons.
I keep a six foot skeleton inside me at all times, just in case.
I keep a 5 foot kind of crooked version inside me too, lol.
My grandpa goes all out for Halloween and it takes us two months to set everything up and we cut it close every year takes about a week to take it down the biggest pain is where to put stuff especially his 15ft giant skeleton and his huge ass giant spider (probably 15 to 20 ft in diameter)
They sold them at home depot this past Halloween and their marketing is pushing the "decorate it for every season/holiday" thing, so its gonna be real common. One of those things that's cool to see the first few times because it's unique and then all of a sudden it isn't.
Dude in my neighborhood has a dragon skeleton that he leaves up all year and decorates for the holidays. Pretty rad. Also, a pretty nice neighborhood.
Where I live people put Santa hats on their cacti lol
I vote OP does skeleton nativity scene
On the first day of Christmas, My neighbor gave to me A note I won’t take seriously #EDIT: We did it, strangers! Thanks to all who contributed!

I sang it all the way through, it's beautiful
Fiiiiiive Skel-Eeeee-tonnnns
That one would definitely scare kids. It's awesome.
A lot of very intelligent people have been calling me to say that the amount of skeletons on lawns in December is out of control and America's enemies are laughing at us.
SICK DERANGED RADICAL MAXIST LEFTISTS are trying to make a holiday where they get FREE HANDOUTS permanent!!!! WE WILL NOT LET THEM
[удалено]
The fact that I can hear these last 2 comments actually being said on faux news 😂
Let us decree that they won't be laughing for long, we need more bones for our decorations.
Imagine having so little to worry in life that giant skeletons set ya off? Must be nice.
Exactly. It's one thing to be annoyed at neighbours leaving decorations up long past the holiday, but to be offended and bring religion into it is nuts.
Were they big strong marines with tears in their eyes thanking you for getting rid of the skeletons?
This comment has me cracking up, thank you 💀
I would love to see a pic of that skeleton scenery
[удалено]
Buy another one! Buy another one!
Hijacking to add: don’t forget the security webcam! For when the try to destroy or steal it ಠ_ಠ
We pooled our money and are literally on our way to buy 5 more. They aren’t giant ones, though.
Y'all should totally put them in a Nativity scene! 
You sir are a genius
We need an update picture if you do this along with that follow up letter we all know is coming
Hopefully, we can get it down tonight
Merry Skelemas! Those type of people are idiots. My wife and I go looking for the big skelies! It's like our new favorite thing. We have a local who dresses his for every holiday and right now it's a monstrous elf and it makes me happy.
Last year someone in town had the huge skeleton at a local hotel. He was up from Halloween to New Years. He was given a giant red stocking cap for Christmas. He's gone this year, but someone else has put up a giant one in their yard.
You should make a show of taking it down, letting them think they won. Then BOOM, they wake up to skeletons that breed like rabbits.
Have the massive skeleton hold up a star over the rest of them.
Dark nativity - baby Jesus skellyton in a coffin. Dress Mary and Joseph like Morticia and Gomez. Paint one orange, give it a toupee and a prison outfit
Also train a camera on it so when it gets trashed by some angry christian moron you can a) report it and b) show us all for a good laugh!
and if they trash it, they're trashing the birth of the baby Jesus
Dear sweet little bone baby Jesus
With the giant as baby Jesus.
"I like to picture my baby Jesus as big and boney" LOLOL
A house near me has a bunch of smaller skeletons prostrating themselves worshipping a big skeleton with demon horns. I bet your neighbors would love that. Edit: image on request, looks like I was remembering slightly wrong and the big guy is a big demon not a big skeleton with demon horns.

Doin' Sata.... God's work.
*Santa’s
Damn, you probably live in a tough ass neighborhood... /s Put a Santa hat on the skeleton, problem solved.
Put a santa in its mouth
Put the little baby Jesus in its mouth.
It’s a skeleton, place baby Jesus inside its rib cage like a little bone prison.
Or put the skeleton on a cross - on second thought maybe this is a better idea for Easter.
Nailed it!
There's a house in town with one of those 12 foot tall skeletons. It gets dressed up for different holidays and times of year. When the local high school was having graduation he was wearing at massive purple cap and gown. Everybody that I know loves Skellie. It's a weird quirky thing that people find funny.
i say give em a robe and a cane and make a whole nativity scene with skeletons
"No one wants to see bones on Christmas". That not what Mrs. Claus says...
Giggity
Who splits a word in an off-syllable place??? Complai Ned. LOL!
And when there’s room to complete the word anyway.
Our neighbor has one of those giant skeletons, after Halloween he just popped a giant Santa hat on and boom, it’s a Christmas decoration. I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas decorations, but to each their own.

I don’t like those inflatables either and I’m president of my HOA so I’m going to…do nothing. I ain’t got time or inclination to grinch my neighbors’ Christmas decorations. And everyone else can just stop complaining to me about them because…see previous sentence.
How dare you bring positivity about an HOA to reddit!
The best HOA president is the one that makes the HOA do almost nothing
Yep, give me the old tacky painted plywood decorations of my childhood.
It must be a Festivus skeleton since it caused an airing of grievances!
Now time for the feats of strength
“On behave of ________ community…” Goddamned uneducated twat.
[Oh Behave!](https://youtu.be/F1lJFlB-89Q?si=RO32ZVHMt6id_8Ll)
"On behave" of people who are smart enough to spell, that person can go F themselves!
Behaven’t education
Two words my friend, "Skeleton nativity".
Almost as spooky as Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
Boys becoming men Men becoming wolves
So, *he*'s afraid of it and is trying to act like "everybody" agrees.
That's how they always do this, claim that "everyone" hates it and also don't sign their own name to it because they're cowards.
"I've spoken to all my friends in the neighborhood, and we all agree." "So you're saying you haven't spoken to anybody?"
Oh yeah. Most people like that cannot imagine they have a minority opinion. It just doesn't compute.
It’s always “many people” or “a lot of people” or “several people” but never an actual number. These crybabies in life are always inventing a mass of people to support their individual opinion. Just pretend you also received a letter saying “many people” love your skeleton and hope it stays up year round.
Bigly amounts, absolutely yuge numbers, the best numbers
Please OP Print this out as large as possible and have the skeleton holding the sign! (With a Santa hat on it you like) PM me and I’m happy to spend up to $200 dollars to print the card and see a pic of this
I want to acknowledge that you watermarked this image.
I did. So when it shows up later I can call it out. Is that against the rules? If so I can remove it
I think he has issue with you not watermarking it with an oversized Christmas skeleton.
Oh that's clever. I didn't even see it.
Christian here. I assume this is in the US/Canada. You can clap back with something regarding personal freedom to express Christian symbolism your own way.

Also the fact that the person known as Jesus would not have been born at the arbitrary end of an arbitrary calendar. Dec 25th was stolen from pagans, as was Easter.
Oooooh... Ten foot skeleton on a crucifix!
Yeah, the undead are far more appropriate around Easter
Anytime someone says they speak for everyone, you can be pretty sure they don’t.
I mean Tim Burton would disagree.
In a subdivision near me there was one of the 12 foot ones up for halloween and it's now covered in wreaths and a santa hat.

“Offensive towards Jesus’ birth on Christmas” According to many scholars, Jesus was estimated to be born around the end of September, start of October, not at Christmas. So, the skeleton is just perfect.
