Mike Babick's display of Christmas spirit has grown too popular for some neighbors, who complain his expanding array of lihgts and holiday figures draw some unwelcome gawkers.
Babick's passion for the holiday has driven him to adorn his modest one-story home in the Kansas City suburb Prairie village with more than a thousand figures housed in display cases that go up to his rootop.
Babick, 69, said his display requires a month to set up and draws some 250,000 visitors each year.
But some neighbors say Babick's Yuletide creation has become too popular. Cars and tour buses sometimes block their driveways. Visitors trudge across their lawns, with some pausing to relieve themselves.
In response to complants from some 30 residents, police made Babick's block temporarily one-way and put up no-parking signs, but that has not stopped visitors from parking in private driveways.
Jessie Novak, who lives across the street, said the traffic drawn to Babick's display is bothersome but tolerable.
"I know it's crazy and out of the norm. but I really enjoy it. It would beat any store window in New York," Novak said.
