A Christmas question: My strange neighbor across the hall has scotch taped a branch of (once live) holly to her door and now it is dead. Questionbelow

Should I give her my old wreath? Her holly branch is sooooo ugly. It smells like mold and is dropping dead leaves on the carpet. Do you think she would be offended?

You could always yank that dead holly down and stomp on it. Then you could say " oh my gosh look at your holly. Here I have an extra wreath you can have."

@SW-User 😂😂😂 Believe me, I thought about it. It is quite horrible looking and smelly. However, there are security cameras pointed directly at our doors. 😇

@SW-User No, it was alive when she taped it to the door. Smelled, though.

@SW-User I looked it up, to see if it had some weird significance, and it does. It is used to ward off evil spirits.
And she is a member of the spiritualist church. They call spirits.

@4meAndyou yeee, my aunt does that type of stuff so I was wondering if had something to do with that.
You could still offer her the wreathe though, then she could decorate her door up a bit more and keep the weird ritual she has going on.

@SW-User Yeah, I don't know about the hoo doo or whatever it is. Poor lady. She's fat and ugly and very weird. When she first moved here she used to sit in her living room with her door open which used to freak me out, too. I don't like having people stare at me when I walk into my apartment.

She normally decorates her door with the weirdest stuff. Before the holly she had a huge long string of bells from India and a bunch of purple spider webs. But at least that stuff doesn't smell and drop leaves.
