Jimmy Fallon Takes a Dig at Popular Hudson Valley Christmas Light Display

Ba humbug! First the New York Times, now Jimmy Fallon? The ERDAJT Christmas Light Display just can't catch a break.

The New York Times Spotlights ERDAJT Frustrations

Earlier this week, the New York Times ran a story about the ERDAJT Christmas Light Display and how the excitement of the display has worn off for some of the neighbors around 8 Patrick Lane in Lagrangeville.

According to the New York Times mile-long lines of traffic, trash, and lawn damage have been some of the main concerns of the last few years. Reporter Ronda Kaysen writes in the NYT article:

Residents say that over the years cars have parked on their lawns, damaging their grass, and visitors have left behind mementos from the hours spent in wait — empty alcohol bottles, dime bags with remnants of marijuana and, in one instance, a jar full of urine, possibly from a driver who consumed too much hot cocoa during the long, dark wait for dazzle

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, the late-night host and former Hudson Valley resident took a dig at the record-breaking light show.

Either way, the joke could be used for any large holiday display in the US right?

ERDAJT Christmas Light Display is open every night at 8 Patrick Lane in Lagrangeville, New York. Weather pending of course. To stay up to date on ERDAJT and the status of the light display follow them on social media.
