One house with a squadron of Santas out front and on the upstairs porch on Lexington Street in New Britain has been a Christmas time attraction since 1978.
"And now I'm over 90 years old and I'm still doing it," said owner Rita Giancola.
She teaches ballroom dancing in her home when she's not decorating the inside or outside.
She'll be welcoming the public Dec. 18-22 between 6 and 8 p.m.
"If they're mad before they come in," she said, "they'll leave with laughter and joyfulness - very amazing."
"Oh my God there's so much bad stuff in the world today that when you see all the goodness and joy and all the children, it's just happiness over here. A lotta love goes into this," she said.
The price of admission is non-perishable food or household items, all for area charities.
