Karen Leaves Criticizing Notes About Woman’s Decorations, So She Responds by Adding More of Them

Some people believe that decorating a tree and baking cookies aren't enough to get into the Christmas spirit. They feel the need to criticize other people's efforts and views on the holiday season to feel superior and impose their own opinions on how to celebrate. This Karen is one of them.

She spotted a gargoyle on her neighbor's front porch and left a note requesting the figure's immediate removal, claiming that it is not very festive.

Of course, the homeowner had no intention of listening to some Karen ranting and decided to respond in the most amusing way. Poor Karen didn't even see it coming.

We have to wonder if Karen would be against placing gargoyles if she knew their history. Their origin is quite interesting. They were created to satisfy two needs: protection from water and protection from demons and evil supernatural beings.

The word gargoyle originates from "gorge," which is a French word for throat. Real gargoyles have hollow necks that are attached to the building's gutter system.

The principle is simple: when it rains, the water flows from the roof into the gutter, which then directs it to a gargoyle. It passes through the pipe system inside, and the pressure generated makes it dramatically fall through the creature's mouth.

The gargoyles help prevent damage to walls and the roof's masonry by directing water away from the buildings. This was a very important function because facades became quite elaborate during the Gothic period.

Although earlier versions have existed in various cultures for centuries, these statues gained prominence in Medieval France.

People were also very superstitious back then and believed that supernatural beings, ghosts, and fairies had a significant impact on their lives. They weren't all nice and friendly, so they wanted to protect themselves somehow.

They thought the best way to chase them away was to use something that looked frightening. And gargoyles took on that function. The more gruesome and terrifying they were, the better these statues could scare off all sorts of evil supernatural creatures.

Some stories also say that gargoyles come to life at night and act as guardians while people are asleep and vulnerable. Many of them have wings and can fly around the entire town.

As the sun rises, the gargoyles return to their places and wait for the next moon to appear. So, gargoyles are guardians. How can that not align with the Christmas spirit?
