After three weeks of working long days to decorate her house for the holidays, Cheryl Dinse was looking forward to inspiring an abundance of Christmas cheer in her neighbourhood.
“It’s such a warm and fuzzy feeling,” Cheryl smiles, looking at the reindeer on her roof, the red bow on her gate, and the Christmas tree along the driveway.
But then Cheryl felt the opposite, after opening her mailbox the other day to find an envelope addressed to "Occupant."
“I opened it and was just stunned at what I read,” Cheryl says. “I was shocked.”
The anonymous letter writer called Cheryl’s house “the joke of the neighbourhood."
"It looks more like Santa’s whorehouse or a Christmas abortion," the letter continued. "Tone it down a bit.”
Cheryl said the letter made her feel afraid: “Who’s out there that could be this angry?”
