As a long-time homeowner in Parkview and by fortune, a resident of Candy Cane Lane, I am so deeply disappointed in the increasing lack of respect for the privacy and property of those of us who decorate, voluntarily and gladly, every holiday season.

Should we have to clean up empty alcohol containers from our front yards? Should we have to deal with pointless vandalism of the decorations we have displayed? Should we have to remind people to enjoy the seasonal lights and inflatables from the sidewalk?

Why is there no consideration for respecting private property? What happened? Why are people so ignorant? Why yell and scream in the front yard at midnight? Why make us reconsider decorating ever again?

Why have you forgotten how to treat your fellows with the respect you would wish to receive?
