A Christmas chain letter?! I've seen all sorts of ways to ruin the spirit of Christmas, but this is a new one. My first inclination would be to not display my angel and see how much crap I get from the neighbors. Though, really, I can't imagine anyone in my neighborhood going in for such a thing in the first place. The worst part, obviously, is that you have no way to opt out without coming across like an ungrateful asshole. I hate that. I mean, I happen to be an ungrateful asshole, generally, but I still don't like occasions when that fact is brought painfully into the light of day. In my town there's a cemetery with a big black angel statue in it. Perhaps you should fashion a black angel and see what kind of reaction that gets when you hang it in your window. Good God!
