Every year the Christmas lights display in Connecticut grows even bigger. Check out its Facebook page each Christmas season to see how much it has grown.

The house is so spectacular that the display was nationally recognized in 2017. It garnered a first-place win in the season premiere of the ABC show "The Great Christmas Light Fight."
