That’s Dedication

Devising excessive Christmas light displays may not sound like the wisest thing to if you’re prone to getting seizures, but some are truly touched with the holiday spirit:

The decorating starts on Halloween. The lights switch on the day after Thanksgiving. And come Jan. 1, the electric bill is $800 more than usual.

But Joseph DeGaetano and Robert Sibrizzi say putting up thousands of Christmas lights on their neighboring Bayside homes — and scores of other decorations in the front and back yards, garages and driveways — is well worth the time and money.

“When you just see the little kids coming around and the smiles on their faces, it gives you a nice, warm feeling,” said Sibrizzi, who lives with his partner, DeGaetano in a house next door to DeGaetano’s parents.

Sibrizzi is epileptic, but the condition hardly dampens his holiday spirit.

The 42-year-old loved decorating his parents’ Bronx house when he was growing up, and continued the tradition when he moved to 205th St. in Bayside about a decade ago.

“He does what he wants and goes where he wants,” DeGaetano said. “[Epilepsy] doesn’t really hinder him. If he has a seizure, he just rests a while and goes right back at it.”
