VIDEO: Woodbridge "Deck the House" Winner
The Mckessy home at 38 Port Reading Avenue in Woodbridge should be on your holiday home decorating list.
Traffic slows down on Port Reading Avenue in Woodbridge during the holidays, and in no small part, that's due to the work Stephen Mckessy and his family have put in to decorating their home.
Snoopy is fighting the Red Baron in an airplane with a whirling propeller. A nearby rocking horse moves. Santa waves from the front porch. It's just part of the work that Mckessy, his son, Nick, age 9, and Nick's friend, Thomas, age 11, have spent dolling up the home for the holidays.
"They work on it for weekends," said mother Karen of the team effort.
