A woman has been criticised by her neighbours for spelling out ''Bah Humbug'' in lights across her balcony.
Kathy Hill says the Ebenezer Scrooge phase - often uttered by the miserly character in Charles Dickens' festive redemption novel 'A Christmas Carol' - is one of her favourites at Christmas.
But other residents of the twin towers of Marina Grande in Holly Hill, Florida weren't amused.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that Laurie Borasky-Gigliotti, who owns the unit that Kathy is renting - told her to take down the display because other residents were upset.
She says balcony lights are against the rules, ''let alone Bah Humbug.''
She warned that Kathleen - a California woman who recently moved to Florida - should prepare for ''major, massive retaliation.''
Kathy turned off the lights, and says he didn't mean to offend anyone.
