A city in Florida is suing a local family over its Christmas display. Kathy and Mark Hyatt of Plantation, Florida, are being sued by the city for the massive Christmas display near their home that draws hundreds of people each night and creates a traffic jam. Among the attractions: animated displays, hundreds of thousands of lights, and occasionally a live Santa Claus and "reindeer." According to news reports, the city deems the display a nuisance, requiring it to shut down a road near the home and pay officers for overtime work. The city filed a lawsuit asking a judge to shut it down and seeking reimbursement for the overtime pay. A hearing was postponed this summer and arguments have not been rescheduled. —Source: sun-sentinel.com
