We never know what tragedy has afflicted those around us, or how we would react under such trying circumstances.

I would give her a pass and thank God we all have our own happy, comfortable lives. And hope we never know such pain that would blind us like this.


YES!
Make a beautiful print and write a nice letter to her, letting her know that the beauty of her lights inspired you.  And you would like to thank her with this gift.

Thanks for posting this answer
it's important to realise there is much more going on than WE know about and not just decide to call everyone names that doesn't act the way WE think they should

example comes to mind:
i had a gal friend arranging a surprise b day party for me 1995
it was annoying as she stole my address book to do it behind my back!!

she invited a very spiritual woman who simple said no she coulnt come  but have fun
well, she was furious she judged against that woman for years i still am not sure i realy like her like i had before !!
as the animosity toward her form my friend continued after that
why?
just that she hadnt been all gushing about how lovely my friend was being
she wasnt all thankful for the invite and impressed etc by her doing it for me  (she was a  celebrity in UK)

BUT i found out that when her husband was killed

funny ole life aye

thanks everyone. I do know her husband is alive and well he had left as i had pulled up. even on my worse days i present a smile and am reasonably happy and kind towards others even the annoying people that come to my door...

Its not always the husband, sometimes the daughter.  And its not always death, but sometimes something worse.  If you can present a smile on your worst day yet, then you can count yourself nothing more than lucky.  There are people living with pain beyond your comprehension.  In those worlds, smiles are not possible.

This is a thread about assumptions.  And the fools that assume to know the story when clearly the deatils do not exist.  TooCool, you've presented nothing more that a woman who was either rude or in pain.  We don't know which.  It just doesn't matter.  But you did a good thing-- you did your part.  Your only duty is to do your part, and hope that the rest of us do ours.  Maybe we will, and maybe we won't.  But you can sleep like a baby tonite knowing you did yours.  Don't ruin that by feeling bad about someone else's behavior that you do not understand.

There's a house down the street from me they had their decorations I thought it looked all pretty with the snow so I snapped a shot....and well I thought I'd be nice and give them a copy of it, just cause I'm nice and it's the Christmas season. So I went today to give them the picture after all it IS their house, and I told her I was a aspiring photographer handed her the picture and she was very rude and said "I don't think so!!!" I was like errrr you don't have to buy it I just thought I'd give it to you since it is your house, I'm sorry if I made you mad"  And she just said all pissy like "WELL THANK YOU BYE!"
eesh last time I be nice....So my kind heart bites me in the ass once again.

Can they do anything?? I'd hope not...
sorry for the lame post...I probably should of just kept it to myself.
This is the picture I took

That is a gorgeous photograph!!  Don't worry about how ungrateful she was.  You know that what you were doing was nice, and you have a kind heart

I don't know why someone would act like that.  Maybe she was in the middle of an argument at home, or maybe you caught her at a bad time?

Either way, you were just being nice.  You're such a sweet person!  And Merry Christmas to you

You really can't resell the photo unless you take the house number out of the image.  Then if you try to sell it or sell it, NEVER tell the owner of the house.

Advice from a "Pro".

A decidedly dishonest approach.  Not a great definition of a "pro".

I would never recommend vengeance - because that's wrong.  And I'm glad you are a person of strong moral fiber - I respect that.  A lesser person would go over there at night and spell the word cunt in gasoline on the lawn where the snow is.  That unscrupulous fellow might use a LOT of gas to do that and the sweep the snow over it to cover it up.

And leave.

Come spring the grass would grow green everywhere except where the gasoline was applied.

I'm glad to know you would never do that...

Its scarry to know you know how to do that!

Teepee wouldn't be a bad idea, but I just can't see myself doing it, you can though:)

Don't let Queeniee talk you into doing that... or wear a disguise!  I heard that there's a photographer across the street that takes pictures of that house!

Don't assume that to be true Kaitlin, people like that rarely realize that they sound like scrooges.
