It's a record-setting holiday season for one Dutchess County family, thanks to their annual light display.
The Gay family's holiday light setup this year has 687,000 lights - nearly 100,000 more than they had last year.
This year's light display sets a new Guinness World Record for most lights in a Christmas display on residential property, breaking their own record, set last year.
The family has raised $500,000 for local charities through their display, which they began back in 1995 for their children.
