More Pagan Holy Day Madness: 'Christmas lights spreading neighbors' holiday cheer

MARICOPA, Ariz. -- The Maricopa home with 20,000 lights is by far the brightest holiday house on the block, but it’s actually the neighbor’s home generating all the titillating talk.

Next to the house with the luminous litany of twinkling joy sits a home with simply a single green and red lighted sign:

“DITTO ===>”

The Maricopa home with 20,000 Lights is by far the brightest holiday house on the block. But it’s actually the neighbor’s home generating all the titillating talk.

“I go to the bank and they're like, ‘Oh, you're the ditto girl,’ said Kristina Green, whose home hosts the “ditto” sign pointing to her neighbor's lighted Christmas kingdom.

This is Green’s first holiday season in the Maricopa home. She knew she couldn't compete with her neighbor's overwhelming Christmas display and her response is generating plenty of buzz.

“I told him, ‘Besides, what are we going to put up compared to what you have?”’ Green said, replaying a conversation she had with her neighbor when he told her about his extravagant yearly yard display. “There's no comparison, you can't keep up with ‘the Joneses' on this one.”

“The Joneses,” in this instance, are actually the Cyrs.  Eric Cyr started putting up just a few lights lining the roof back in 2010.  It grew by thousands of bulbs in the couple years following that.

“As a kid I loved watching Christmas lights and going to see them and that's just inspired me,” Cyr said.

It was actually Cyr, feeling bad for a previous neighbor who didn’t want to put up any decorations, who made the 600-light “ditto” sign that now upstages his own yard’s Christmas creations.

“Oh, they just laugh and think it’s hilarious,” he said, talking about people who pass through the neighborhood to see the display.

“It was really supposed to be a joke at first but now it's really turned into something,” Green said. She started a Facebook page with more than 800 “likes” for the ditto display.

Next Christmas, green and Cyr hope to use the display’s new found popularity to raise some money for charity.

More Pagan Holy Day Madness: Texas man admits carving pentagram in son's back 'because it's a holy day'

 

by MATT GOODMAN WFAA

RICHLAND HILLS, Texas -- Richland Hills police say a man is in custody for carving a pentagram into the back of his six-year-old boy.

Department spokesman Sgt. Nathan Stringer said officers were dispatched to a home in the 3700 block of Ruth Road after a man called 911 just after midnight Wednesday and said "I shed some innocent blood." The dispatcher asked what he meant and the man responded, "I inscribed a pentagram on my son."

When asked why, the caller said, "Because it's a holy day" and hung up the phone. Wednesday's date was 12-12-12, a once in a century occurrence.

Brent Troy Bartel, 39, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon –– family member. He's in custody in the Quad-Cities Jail in North Richland Hills on $500,000 bond.

During Bartel's 911 call, Stringer said the boy's mother ran to a neighbor's house and had her call police to report that her husband was hurting her child. The mother is heard in the background of the call saying, "He's trying to hurt my six-year-old" and told the neighbor her husband has a knife.

When officers arrived, they found the boy standing in the home, shivering in pajama pants without a shirt. The pentagram covered much of the boy's back, Stringer said. Investigators found a box cutter nearby and believe it was what Bartel used, Stringer said.

"This is something you normally hear about in the movies, not something you expect to see," Stringer said.

The child is stable at Cooks Children's Hospital, Stringer said. Child Protective Services and a crime victim  liaison are both investigating.

Stringer said Bartel, a Richland Hills resident, does not have a history of assaulting family members.
