NEW YORK, Dec. 25 (UPI) -- New York's Bad Santa has gone on the auction block and its creators are hoping to get $500 for it to donate to charity.

The gruesome display erected by Joel Krupnik and Mildred Castellanos outside their Gramercy Park home features a knife-wielding Santa in a bloody display with more than 20 Barbie heads. Neighbors complained the display was anti-holidays.

The New York Post reports Krupnik and Castellanos have already received a $200 bid, and Krupnik said the money will be donated to the winning bidder's favorite charity -- proving the couple is not anti-Christmas. Bidding ended at 3 p.m. (EST) Sunday.

"We never meant to offend anybody or any religion," Krupnik told the Post.
