Tell Your Christmas Story
It all started about 50 years ago, as young boy when my father got his drivers license and a car,our family started going out on Christmas Day to see the decorations on the houses in the well to do areas of Montclair N.J. I was so impressed that I told myself "someday i'm going to decorate my house like that".Well it took me over thirty years to get a house and start decorating it sixteen years ago.I started with 6,000 lights and just keep adding from year to year.The local newspapers call my house a holiday landmark.What keeps me decorating is the many visitors each year,and the joy and excitment I see in the faces of the children(and adults).It brings me back to that time when I was a young boy.
