The Bronx, New YorkFor more than 30 years, the Garabedian family has decorated their house on Pelham Parkway North with lights and hundreds of animated figurines, many of which rotate to the sounds of holiday music. In addition to the Virgin Mary, St. Theresa and the Savior, the house features more secular “saints” like Nicole Kidman, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor.

“As he combed and recombed his hair, he pictured himself strolling with Lucille in the gardens of 2645 Mosholu Parkway, an edifice he had never seen. From the grand sound of the words ‘Mosholu Parkway,’ he imagined it to be something like an English castle in the movies. There under arching old tress, amid the flower beds, deliciously alone, could Herbie and Lucille fail to come at last to the sweet mutual pledges of love?” ~ Herman Wouk, City Boy (pic via)
