It鈥檚 not uncommon for neighbours to find themselves in some good-natured competition with one another when it comes to decorating for the holidays.

That can tax the imagination and the pocketbook, but does sometimes result in really stunning streetscapes.

Heather King of Princeton took a creative and stress-free approach to her neighbor鈥檚 holiday display this year - she decided to ride on its coattails.

鈥淚 knew I didn鈥檛 stand a chance against them,鈥� she said of friends Mark and Alicia Mouland.

鈥淪o I fought back the only way I know how, with sarcasm,鈥� she told The Princeton Spotlight, with sarcasm.

While King watched the Moulands light up trees, place candy canes, Santa and a snowman, and even decorate the chimney, she quietly strung lights on the front of her home spelling out the word 鈥淒ITTO鈥� with an arrow pointing towards the house next door.

鈥淚t started out as a bit of a joke and then as more decorations were added it was just too good not to make it happen.

鈥淸It was] minimal effort and laughs for the whole neighbourhood. Their鈥檚 took about a weekend. Mine [took] an hour. 鈥�
