A family in Bensonhurst is already lighting up their home for the next big holiday.
Every Thanksgiving for nearly a dozen years, Brooklyn resident Dough Schempp and his family light up their 82nd Street home to prep for Christmas.
They spend a full month setting up the display each year, but they say it is well worth the work to make the magic happen.
The Schempp family started the tradition as a way to give back to the community. They collect donations for children's charities.
