One of the best decorated homes in New York City, belongs to a Greek, originally from Chios, greekreporter.com notes in the following article:
Mr. Isidoros Bilas began the amazing tradition 35 years ago, and every year people flock from all over New York at his house in Brooklyn to watch the spectacle.
The house has more than 300,000 Christmas lights, at least two Christmas trees, hundreds of festive ornaments, as well as a Greek flag.
Bilas, who came from Greece 43 years ago, says that all decorations are made by himself. Some have been created when he first started 35 years ago.
He says that it takes 5 weeks to decorate and it costs $5,000 in electricity for the season.
Visitors to the house are encouraged to give donations for the Ronald McDonald House caring for children with cancer.
