MICKLETON, New Jersey A Christmas classic has taken over one South Jersey neighborhood.
It involves more than 10,000 sparkling lights, an RV stuffed with toy donations and Clark Griswold with Cousin Eddie not far behind.
For the past two years, Steve Harbaugh and his family have decked out his home on Legends Court in Gloucester County, channeling his inner Griswold. I m just a guy who put up lights and I ve got people crying out here. I ve got people thanking me constantly, said Harbaugh.
Each year thousands of toys are donated. Harbaugh says he s expecting around 10,000 toys to give back to children and families in need.

It’s just after sunset in Mickleton and the show is about to begin.
At first, a few cars drive by the brightly lit home of Gina and Steve Harbaugh Friday evening. Four hours later, the line to get a glimpse of their “Christmas Vacation” movie-themed holiday display now known as the Griswold house stretches a mile down Cedar Road.
Volunteers from the East Greenwich Police Department patiently direct traffic onto Legends Court where the aura of Christmas spirit would make any grinch’s heart grow three sizes larger.
