Lawyer Wins Legal Battle With Homeowners Association Over Christmas Display – Uses Settlement Money to Buy More Lights
A lawyer in Idaho just won his second legal battle with his homeowners association over the very festive Christmas display at his home and is using the settlement money to buy more Christmas lights, which is just hilarious.
A few years ago, when he won his first legal battle, the court awarded him a $75,000 settlement. The HOA appealed the decision and in the ensuing years, he figures that they have spent upwards of a million dollars in legal fees trying to overturn that settlement. Now they just lost to him for a second time and he was awarded even more money.
Why would the HOA go so crazy over Christmas lights? It’s not like it is a permanent display.

‘Christmas Lawyer’ who went to war with HOA spends windfall on holiday cheer
The “Christmas Lawyer” was facing the possibility of owing a huge amount of money over a lawsuit that he previously won over a festive Christmas display that was also helping raise money for childhood cancer. The Supreme Court kicked the case to the appellate court. Then everything turned around.
Idaho lawyer Jeremy Morris spoke to Fox News Digital about his staged elaborate holiday displays in defiance of his former homeowners association that led to a protracted legal battle.
The case was overturned by the judge after he was previously awarded $75,000 in 2019. He then appealed to the 9th Circuit in 2020, before his saga got all the way to the Supreme Court. When the case reached SCOTUS, it was kicked back to the appellate court and the HOA reached a settlement, leaving Moore triumphant…
What is Morris doing with the money? Spreading even more Christmas cheer and not letting any grinches stop it.
“Well, I can tell you that I’m buying a lot of Christmas lights, and I’m enjoying it every time that I screw in a light bulb. I think of my HOA and their effort to shut down Christmas,” he said.
Good for him for fighting this battle.
