Decorating for the holidays puts many people in a festive mood, but for some it can be a lot of work and take days. There’s one home in South Jersey that’s pulling out all the stops and might even put a smile on Clark Griswold’s face.
“There are 60 inflatables and 20,000 lights,” Ryan Cohen said as he stood outside his home in Voorhees Township, New Jersey.
The lawn is covered and the driveway is surrounded with all kinds of light-up figures, fairy lights and other decorations. He regularly expands the collection, with the new addition this year being a PVC Ferris wheel, on which stuffed teddy bears in red and white baskets can take a ride.
“This piece is all custom this year,” Cohen said.

Cohen’s family is also called “The Christmas House of Voorhees.”
Cohen has been transforming his family’s front yard for fifteen years, a tradition passed down from his father.
“Growing up I just loved Christmas, it’s a great time of year, my family loves it, my kids love it,” Cohen said.
Every holiday, the Cohen hosts a walk-through event with Santa Claus leading the way. It is also a time for his neighbors to join in the spirit of generosity.
The family also collects about six boxes of toys each year to donate to Toys for Tots.
