HENRICO, Va. -- The annual Let It Glow contest has kicked off, and this week Fred Gay was the winner!

Mr. Gay has been decorating his Henrico home for well over 15 years, and it definitely shows. He's bought over 300 inflatables in that time period, added more fuses to his home, and bought heaps of cords and outlets.

He does it all simply to see people smile and said that he grew up in a house where his dad also loved to decorate for Christmas.

The family helps him accomplish that goal, by handing out hot chocolate during the weekends that Santa visits. Visitors can park and walk around, or drive through the display.

The house lights up at 5 p.m., seven days a week. Starting Dec. 8, Santa comes to visit on weekends, and hot chocolate is served.

Address: 7703 Strath Road, Henrico
