Inginginya yabakhenkethi nkqu nabantu baseNew York behlela kummandla waseDyker Heights eBrooklyn eNew York ukuza kubona umboniso ogqithisileyo wezibane zeKrisimesi kumakhaya abahlali.URichard Levine / Corbis ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty Ukhe wabona Ikhefu leKrisimesi likaZwelonke leLampoon ? Yinto bhanyabhanya omkhulu ophakathi kwinqanaba lomsebenzi uChevy Chase. (Yule Crack Up ngumgca wethegi.)
Ukuba ungena kwiDyker Heights, emazantsi eBrooklyn, ngexesha leholide, phantse yonke indlu eyomileyo yayikhanyiswe nge-panache ephezulu yekhaya losapho lakwaGriswold. Ummelwane bubuninzi obucocekileyo bobukhazikhazi obukhanyayo.
Ndicinga ukuba uThomas Edison uvuka ebila okomlilo xa ecinga ibhalbhu yesibane, eqhutywa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwaye nengqondo yakhe iqhuma kwindawo yeeyadi ezingaphambili zokukhanya kweYuletide ekhangeleka ngathi nguSanta Claus I-Dyker Heights extravaganza yonyaka.
Ukukunika umbono wokuba obu buchwephesha beholide ye-hi-tech abuqhelekanga kwi-NYC, nanku umhombiso weKrisimesi oqhelekileyo ofunyanwa kwisitalato sam: 
Ngokuqinisekileyo ayibikho njengokukhanya.IHarmon Leon
Eyona nto ihlekisa ngakumbi ubumelwane beDyker Lights. Ubuchwephesha bobuchwephesha busuka ekuthetheni ubungakanani bobomi be-carolers yase-Dickensian, ii-topiaries ezimile okweebhere, i-14 yeenyawo ubude, i-800 yeepawundi ye-animatronic Santa Claus, kunye nezibane ezingama-40,000 ezilungelelaniswe nomculo, zihamba ngazwinye kwaye zisete unomathotholo umthumeli.
Yiyo iKrisimesi-y IKrisimesi kwiKrisimesi-y yayo enkulu.
Abakhenkethi bayayithanda. Ngaba uyazi ukuba ngubani omnye oyithandayo? Con Edison.
Ewe,izibane zeholide zeDyker Heights liphupha elimsulwa laseCon Edison. Izibane azizihlawuleli. Ngokwe- IBowery Boys podcast , abanye abahlali baseDyker Heights bachitha phakathi kwe- $ 5,000 ukuya kwi- $ 8,000 nje kwiindleko zombane zenyanga zodwa ukukhanyisa amakhaya abo ajongeka njengekhasino yaseSanta-themed Vegas. Kukho isihogo samanzi ombane aqhubekayo apha-ngakumbi xa ubona imithi apho onke amasebe axhonywe ngaphandle kwezibane.
I-lazier, kunye nobutyebi, abahlali bahlawula iinkampani zobungcali zokuhombisa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-20 000 yeedola ukuhombisa amakhaya abo ngemincili yeKrisimesi ,ukuya kwinqanaba elinokuthi lenze ukuba uSanta abe nesicaphucaphu. Ukusukela ngo-2006, ukhenketho lweebhasi luzisa abakhenkethi abanomdla wokuzonwabisa kwiitina zabo kwindawo abahlala kuyo; kuqikelelwa ukuba ngama-300,000 abantu abazakutyelela lo Disemba.

Uqale njani lo mbono ukhanyisayo?
Ukwazi ibali leKrisimesi kwiindawo eziphakamileyo zaseDyker, sifuna ibali emva kwetekhnoloji yeKrisimesi.
UThomas Edison wazisa umboniso wokuqala wokukhanya kombane weKrisimesi ngexesha leKrisimesi ngo-1880. Oku kwenzeka ngaphandle kwelebhu yakhe eMenlo Park, eNew Jersey. Emva koko, kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, uEdward Johnson, phantsi kweliso likaEdison, wenza umtya wokuqala wezibane zeKrisimesi. Yayinomtya wee-80 iibhalbhu zombane ezincinci. Ngomnyaka we-1890, iintambo zezibane zaveliswa ngobuninzi. (Ukutshintsha isithethe sangaphambili somngcipheko wobungozi wokubeka amakhandlela kwimithi yeKrisimesi.) Iivenkile zesebe emva koko zaqala ukukhanyisa imiboniso yeKrisimesi.
Ukudibanisa amachaphaza, iinkampani zombane ziye zaqonda ukuba ngaphezuluukukhanya kwezihombiso zeKrisimesi kuthetha imali eninzi. Ngeminyaka yoo-1920 iinkampani zombane zazifuna ukwenza imali ngale nkcubeko intshaUluntu luhombisa imithi yeKrisimesi ngezibane. Ke baqala ukuxhasa ngemali kwimisitho yokuhombisa eluntwini. Umbono oqaqambileyo-uhlobo lwengendlela efanayo yokuba iinkampani zamakhadi emibuliso zaqala ngoSuku lweValentines.
Ishumi leminyaka emva koko, umbane waba yinto efikelelekayo ngakumbi kwiintsapho ezikudidi oluphakathi ezaziphumele ngaphandle kwidolophu, eyadala imeko yokuzama ukogqitha ummelwane wakho ngezibane zeKrisimesi kunye nemihombiso- indlela kaGriswold. 
Indawo yaseDyker Heights iyeyona ndawo ithandwayo kakhulu ekubukeni kwezibane zeKrisimesi.I-Atilgan Ozdil / iArhente yeAnadolu / imifanekiso kaFetty
Izibane zeholide zaseDyker Heights ezivela kwimvelaphi yebali zaqala ngo-1986 ULucy spata ,umhlali oneminyaka engama-84thI-St phakathi kwe-11 ne-12Iindlela. Ukuzihombisa okwaziwayo, waqala ukuhombisa ikhaya lakhe ngeengelosi zeplastiki, kwaye unyaka nonyaka, wayeye ngaphezulu kancinci ngaphezulu. Abamelwane baqala ukukhalaza. Abanye babiza amapolisa kuye. (Bah humbug.)
Ukuba awuyithandi-hamba, wayeyimpendulo yakhe eBrooklyn.
Kodwa ekugqibeleni uSpata wanxiba abamelwane bakhe phantsi, kwaye nabo baqala ukulandela. Kule minyaka, i-bug yokuhlobisa iholide yasasazeka phantsi kwebhloko kwaye kungekudala yayiquka indawo enkulu yokuhlala. Abahlali bazakuzibandakanya kukhuphiswano olunobuhlobo ukubona ukuba ngubani onokuthi ahombise abanye-ngokujikeleza imijikelezo ejikelezayo, ejikeleza amajoni ezinto zokudlala ezinobungakanani kunye nokuhambisa ii-nutcrackers ezinkulu.
Ngoku, ubumelwane bube yi Izibane zeDyker esiyaziyo namhlanje. Kwaye ikhaya likaSpata liye laba yiNtaba iRushmore yeKrisimesi yokukhanyisa ukukhanya.
Spata uxelele iNew York Post ukuba ityala lakhe lombane liqhuba ngaphantsi kweedola ezingama-700 kwinyanga nganye.
Abazinzanga, utshilo. Usika iindleko zombane ngoku usebenzisa izibane ze-LED kwaye uqhuba umboniso kwisibali xesha. Abantu bafuna [ukunikela kwiindleko], kodwa andiyi kuyamkela.
Ayizukuba yiyo yonke i-Ebenezer Scrooge, kodwa izibane zeKrisimesi kukhokelela kwimicimbi ethile yokurisayikilisha . Qho ngonyaka, ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-20 zeepawundi zezibane zeholide ezilahliweyo zithunyelwa eShijiao, China, ekubhekiswa kuyo njenge tIkomkhulu lehlabathi lokuphinda kusetyenziswe iKrisimesi.
Ummandla waqala ukungenisa izibane zeKrisimesi ezilahliweyo ngo-1990, ikakhulu ukwenza abasebenzi abancinci kunye nemigangatho ephantsi yokusingqongileyo. NgokukaGizmodo , izibane ziphantsi komhlaba, zahlulwe ngobhedu, ubhedu kunye neplastiki. Izintsalela ziguqulwe zayinto yonke ukusuka kwiziliphu ukuya kwizixhobo ezintsha kraca.
Ukutya okunye okukhanyisiweyo okukhanyisiweyo ngexesha elizayo xa undwendwela iDyker Heights.
Nangona kukho iikiti ezithile kumboniso, ndiyakonwabela ukuqaqamba kwetekhnoloji ephantsi enokufumaneka ngokuhombisa kwindawo endihlala kuyo eBrooklyn.
