The beloved Lunar Family Lights show in Willoughby is officially done for the season after threats of violence against the family and its neighbors.
Maria Woyma is the mother of Candice Lunar, who, along with her husband Brad and volunteers, put up the amazing display.
"We're just going to say that people are just not as happy as they should be or as kind as they should be," said Woyma.
The family competed on an episode of "The Great Christmas Light Fight" and won.

However, on Sunday night, it posted an update on Facebook saying, "We are officially done for the season. We have had 3 different people want to physically fight us or neighbors. The bad behavior of a few hurts the many."
"People are impatient because they're waiting, because it's so long and, you know, it's just people," Woyma said.
The family has had to call the police.
"Around this time of the year, we should probably just be nicer to each other and, obviously, there's no place for violence," said Willoughby Police detective Lt. Mike Sevel.
The purpose of the display is to create joy and raise money for the "Give Kids the World" charity, which gives free vacations to families who have kids with critical illnesses.
The Lunars would like everyone to know the issues were caused by a small number of people.
"Most people are genuinely just so grateful," said Brad Lunar. "They know how hard we work."
News 5 asked the Lunars if they lights display will be back. They say they were already planning to take a break in 2026 and will return "eventually."
"We're trying to light up Ohio. And we're trying to bring some joy, because there's a lot of darkness," said Brad Lunar.
