James Halligan, in front of his house at 1873 Dresden Drive in Brookhaven, entered into a competition with friend and neighbor Colby Witwer, right, who lives at 1819 Dresden, to see who could come up with the “showiest” holiday display.
Left, Alex Mackenzie, along with his brother Ian, helped put up the family’s Christmas lights at 5289 Redfield Road in Dunwoody. The family, which includes mom Jan, dad Scott, and son Colin, have been decorating their Redfield home for 23 years. “… we always had colored lights to show through the snow,” explained Jan Mackenzie, previously from Toronto, Canada.
Peri Demestihas, left, and Ali Ginn show off the 10,000 lights in their yard at 125 Peachtree Hills Avenue in Buckhead. Demestihas, who got the collection from his dad, said the display makes him feel “nostalgic.”
Dan Davis, property manager for a residence at 4730 Harris Trail in Buckhead, estimates his crew spent seven days putting up garland, hanging huge snowflakes from trees, placing lights on holly bushes, and transforming the house’s two-story columns into giant candy canes. The secret in getting these decorations in place: a 60-foot boom lift.
Greg Talbott, who lives at 452 Glencourtney Drive in Sandy Springs, features more than 22,000 holiday lights and other decorations. His home has been attracting crowds for more than 26 years.
