Hazan says he's been told he has the largest Hanukkah holiday display in the Chicago area.

Meanwhile, a Christmas house in Tinley Park has returned this year and it is bigger and brighter than ever.

It's a must-see attraction, and thousands of spectators come out each year to see it.

Spectators gather at Tinley Park Christmas house to see a spectacular show

The famous Tinley Park Christmas house features more than 200,000 lights and between 300 and 400 figurines. It's a must-see attraction, and thousands of spectators come out each year to see it.

A crew of 80 people began designing the display right after Halloween.

The display is spread over three homes on Avon Lane.

The holiday masterpiece was first created in 1996, and has been going strong ever since.

"My favorite part is the homemade stuff, you know, we have all these little homemade villages and houses we've made. We've got our Ferris Wheel, we've got our carousel, all the stuff that moves is what all the kids and the people really like," said Dominic Kowalczyk, the owner.
