DHCL cited to be started by Lucy Spata when she moved to the neighborhood from Bensonhurst in 1986 no one on the block decorated back in the early 1980's Lucy started small with a snowflake and some blow mold light up soldiers then went bigger and the neighborhood caught on and joined in making it the uplifting display that it has gown to be. Lucy Spata first put up her display with 40 angels on her lawn to honor her mother after she passed away in 1986. In July 2019 Lucy's husband Anthony Spata passed away and had Lucy promise that she would keep on decorating for Christmas to which she agreed calling it a beautiful tradition. Lucy does not accept donations for the lighting bill as Spata does this from her heart wanting the children who visit to feel the warmth and joy of the season, if children visit at special time they can meet Santa Claus on the red chair in front of the home which is the same red chair where many pose for their annual Brooklyn Christmas photos, Merry Christmas from I Love NY!
