The Camuso family is carrying on a tradition started by patriarch Ernie Camuso, a toymaker and machinist who collected animatronic figures that, coupled with his tens of thousands of colorful lights on the front lawn, made up his annual Christmas display. The display attracted thousands over the years, the crown jewel being the handcrafted 26-foot tree with 10,000 colored lights.
"The resurrection of the Camuso display has drawn thousands and thousands of people to the exhibit the last four years," the Camuso's website says. "The display is an iconic part Livingston history and the work of the volunteers in bringing it back has been well received and recognized by the public."
