I own Dyker Heights’ most iconic Christmas home — my kids won’t get it unless they promise to decorate

The Brooklyn woman who owns the most Christmas-decorated house in Dyker Heights has one stipulation before her children can inherit the home: The holiday tradition must continue.

Lucy Spata, 68, has put in her will that her children and grandchildren won’t be able to get the house legally unless they decorate it every year.

“As long as they live there, they have to decorate,” Spata told the Wall Street Journal. “The outside has to be done big.”

Spata began decorating her home in Dyker Heights, an area that’s long been famed for its over-the-top Christmas decorations on locals’ homes, in the 1980s with her late husband Angelo to honor her Christmas-loving mother.

“Christmas came, and there was nothing but darkness,” she said. “No lights, nothing. I looked at my husband and my husband looked at me. We said, ‘We have to do something about this.’ My mother was a very big decorator for Christmas, so we always decorated.”

But their neighbors weren’t all filled with the same holiday spirit. Several Scrooges initially complained about the Spatas’ extravagant display, but it only fueled their festivities.
