While there are plenty of amazing holiday light shows around Boston, the one that really stands out is a house at the end of this alley. This house is definitely arguably the most decorated in the country, having successfully captured the nation’s attention by participating in ABC’s “Great Battle of Christmas Lights.”
Here, you seem to enter a world full of magic. Enlarged Santa Claus, reindeer, Christmas tree, candy canes… And the illuminated light tunnel, everything is so dazzling. And at the center of all this was the house covered with strings of lights.
The owner of the house, has been working on the massive project alone since last August. Sometimes he had to work 10 hours a day, but he never got tired of it. “I always wanted to make everything bigger and brighter. And as you can see now, I really did.” ‘he said proudly. This year’s exhibition has about 100,000 lights, attracting a large number of children and parents. “A lot of kids come here every night, a lot. Especially on weekends.” “he said.
Of course, such a large-scale light exhibition has also attracted a lot of criticism. Some neighbors have complained that the exhibit has created severe traffic pressure on the street. he also said: “Weekdays are fine, but weekends are really not. We have to close this street.”
Speaking of the struggle to assemble the exhibition, he is blunt: “It really took me a lot of work. I’ve been working since August 1, sometimes up to 10 hours a day, putting lights around the lawn. I did it all by myself.” Still, he had no intention of recording anything in his notebook. “All the designs are in my head.” “He said with a smile.
Also, there’s a special feature: a tree consisting of a 70-pound pole covered in blue lights. he revealed that a friend of his had helped install the pole.
So the question is, how much does electricity cost when thousands of lights are on every night? “Fortunately, we have solar power, so it’s not as expensive as people think.” “he explained.
So, in this alley north of Boston, we really don’t have to worry about whether Santa Claus is coming to town. With his light show, it seems as if Santa Claus has come early, adding a strong festive atmosphere to this winter.
