Meet Jeremy Morris, AKA the “Christmas Lawyer” who, after staging extravagant holiday displays in defiance of his homeowners’ association, found himself in a legal whirlwind involving a jury verdict, a judge’s reversal, and potential disciplinary action from the Idaho State Bar in the USA.
The jolly lawyer, who’s self-identified as an avid Christmas celebrant, started hosting massive displays for the holidays in 2015, after buying his “dream house” for his family, just outside the city of Hayden in Kootenai County, Idaho.
Upon creating a Facebook group and successfully organizing outdoor gatherings in the past, where people would sip hot chocolate, eat cotton candy from his restored vintage machine, and enjoy the festivities, Jeremy reportedly called the president of the neighborhood homeowners’ association to give them a heads-up about his planned display in at his new home.
