Bah, Humbug: Florida Neighbors Angry Over Woman's Christmas Light Display

HOLLY HILL, Fla. (CBSMiami/AP) — A California woman, living in Florida, is being scorned by her neighbors in a high-rise condo because of a holiday message she spelled out in lights across her balcony.

Kathy Hill says the Ebenezer Scrooge phrase 'Bah Humbug" is one of her favorites at Christmas so she spelled it out in lights on the condo balcony.

Other residents of the twin towers of Marina Grande in Holly Hill weren't amused.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that Laurie Borasky-Gigliotti, who owns the unit Hill is renting, told her to take down the display because other residents were coming unglued.

She says balcony lights are against the rules, "let alone Bah Humbug." She warned Hill, a California woman who recently moved to Florida, to prepare for "major, massive retaliation."

Hill turned off the lights, and says he didn't mean to offend anyone. She called herself, "a fish out of water," and said she was just joking around.
