Woman's inflatable dragon decorations at Christmas prompt 'may God bless you' note from neighbor

A Louisiana woman's inflatable dragon decorations were deemed "totally inappropriate" this holiday season by an apparent neighbor who accused her of belonging to a "demonic cult."

Diana Rowland has since added to her dragon display and garnered an army of fans online — even J.K. Rowling. 

On Friday, she tweeted a photo of a note she received that read, in all capital letters: "Neighbor, Your dragon display is only marginally acceptable at Halloween. It is totally inappropriate at Christmas. It makes your neighbors wonder if you are involved in a demonic cult. Please consider removing the dragons. May God bless you and help you know the true meaning of Christmas."

At the time, Rowland said the "judgmental" note was about her three lighted, inflatable dragons on her front lawn around a pit of holiday lights. Thousands of dragon lovers retweeted her, and even more shared her similar post on Facebook. She said even J.K. Rowland liked her tweet.

He flaps his wings and my neighbors LOVE him. He tries to fly away when it gets really windy. All creatures great and small are welcome at our Christmas party. We have hippos, pigs, llamas, reindeer, Snoopy, Hello Kitty, penguins, gnomes, a flamingo, and a dragon in our yard. We have won awards for “most whimsical” and “best holiday spirit”. Rock on, Dragon Lady!!!!
