One New York Family Has the Most Christmas Lights

One New York family continues to top their world-record Christmas display every year. This year is no different, with nearly three-quarters of a million lights.

Timothy Gay goes all out for the holidays. It's a tradition he started back in 1995 for his kids Emily, Daniel, and John.

Their Christmas display in Lagrangeville, New York was so big it set a Guinness World Record for the most lights on a residential property. That was back in 2014 when they had a mere 601,736 bulbs.
