For a special family treat, take a ride and visit these homes you will not be disappointed!

Contestant #1: 36 Club Lane, Levittown. The Mongiello Family. Their home is located at 36 Club Lane, right around the corner from Gardiners Avenue school. The decorating is done by Debbie and her husband Richie (both over 60!). They have been decorating their home for over 28+ years. Unfortunately, they had to skip last year as Debbie was undergoing cancer treatment. All is well now thankfully, and they could not wait to decorate this year! They enjoy the happiness it brings... others, especially the children. Being so close to the school, a lot of the children stop by after school hours to see their decorations. Years ago, a little boy came to their door trick or treating. Debbie answered the door and all of a sudden, he exclaimed, I know this house, this is the Christmas house! That was so heartwarming, and she will never forget it! This year, while they were decorating, a gentleman stopped his car and told them how happy he was that Christmas was coming back to their house this year! These are the reasons that all the hard work is worth it! Plus, their 5 grandchildren love it too! It is their way of saying thank you to their neighbors and fine community and hopefully spreading some joy, especially this year! They are honored to be considered. See more

Contestant #2: 418 Parker Avenue, Levittown - The Elie Family. They are thrilled to have been selected for consideration as one of the best decorated homes in the Levittown and Island Trees school districts. Jeff and his wife Gina and their two daughters Brianna and Taylor, have been decorating their home for many years. Each year they continue to be inspired by the holiday season and annually add more lights and decorations. Jeff and Taylor (who is 11) are the masterminds... and engineers of their outdoor holiday decorations. It normally takes about 2 days to complete the transformation, which occurs the weekend after Thanksgiving. Jeff gets it done no matter what the weather conditions may be at the time. Their daughters love seeing the cars drive slowly by their house, the families walking by with happy children and their family and friends enjoying their holiday lights. They have even had families take pictures on their sidewalk. See more

Contestant #3: 59 Stonecutter Lane, Levittown - The Foschino Family. They have always enjoyed decorating together as a family since their children were able to walk... Michael, his wife Jackie and their 2 children Vincent and Juliana. This display started off small and has grown over the years. They add something new every year. This year they added the handmade Christmas trees that was made out of plywood and painted as a family. Their 2 children have always marveled when p...eople stop and look at their display. The Christmas Light Fight show on TV and Jackie's Uncle Gerry’s house in Carle Place have inspired them to always improve their display. This year it is extra special because with all the COVID concerns, they feel that their display can maybe brighten someone’s day. Vincent and Juliana have dreamed to one day have their house display make it into a paper. See more

Contestant #4: 86 Tanager Lane, Levittown (this is a correction; not Pelican). The Testamark Family. This year they have a Mickey theme! It is a wonderful family tradition to decorate their home for the Christmas season and share it with the Levittown community. They take pride in this family event and nothing is better, especially now during these times, to have activities like this that build memories for years to come. THey hope you like it!
