SUMMIT TWP — Every night at 5:15 p.m. Joe Albert’s home on Moran Road becomes a winter wonderland of lights and music during Christmastime.
“If you take each bulb and each display and every twinkle-light out there, I think there’s probably about 20,000,” said Albert. “And they add up fast.”
Albert’s spectacle features everything from an illuminated railroad — complete with a handmade crossing sign—to jump-roping elves and penguins roasting fish.
And it all started with a dumpster dive for a snowman.
