The Minnesota woman who was blasted for her 'harmful' Christmas light display is a nurse on a coronavirus ward - who says the festive decorations help cheer her up.

Kim Hunt, who resides in St. Anthony, put up simple string lights outside her home last weekend before she received a nasty letter from an anonymous neighbor who railed against the festive decorations.

'I couldn't help but notice your Christmas light display,' the letter read.

'The idea of twinkling, colorful lights are a reminder of divisions that continue to run through our society, a reminder of systemic biases against our neighbors who don't celebrate Christmas or who can't afford to put up lights of their own.'

Speaking with DailyMail.com, Hunt said she has been left 'bewildered and sad' by the note, and has no idea who the author could be.

'My simple light display gives me joy when I come home from working on the Covid unit at a local hospital,' she stated.

'I think it's sad we can't all appreciate diversity and celebrate traditions of all people. '

She and other residents responded by putting up more lights.

This was the extent of her lighting that drew the nasty threats from the Karens. It's... barely decorated.

This is her house after having received the threats:

Okay no that's just the video I link every Christmas. But supposedly the neighbors did put up more lights.
