FORT LEE, NJ — The annual Fort Lee Christmas lights display was documented from a unique viewpoint: From above.

Barry Houldsworth filmed ceremony using a drone. He owns Avios Aerial Media and films North Jersey properties, including his Wyckoff neighbor's huge Christmas lights display.

It took five Fort Lee employees seven months to create the display and organize the tree lighting ceremony at the Jack Alter Community Center Dec. 5.

The display features 400,000 multi-colored LED light, six miles of extension cords, 10 pounds of confetti, and a 35-foot-high Christmas tree.

Mayor Mark Sokolich spoke at the event. He thanked the 4,000 people who attended the ceremony, and to the people who donated to help fund the event.
