NJ Family Wins $50,000 Grand Prize on ABC’s The Great Christmas Light Fight

Did you see The Great Christmas Light Fight on ABC-TV last night (Thursday, December 12)?

It was so exciting to see a family from New Jersey compete on a holiday-themed reality show.

I love seeing my home state featured on TV. Bonus if I've been to where is shown.

I filled you in recently that it was the McCarty-Williams family that would be featured in this season of The Great Christmas Light Fight.

Their light display, Frostland Village, in Pitman, New Jersey is amazing.

That tree made up of lighted decorations is amazing.

I love the train. It's so colorful an fun.

The sweet shop is so cute, isn't it?

Well, the South Jersey family's episode aired last night (December 12) and after waiting with bated breath I'm so excited to tell you they WON.

Yes, they won the Grand Prize, which is comprised of that very festive trophy and $50,000.

I'm sure they're relieved to finally be able to talk about their victory.

They've had to keep their winnings a secret since last year when the show was filmed.

I'm not sure I'd be able to keep a secret like that for so long. Ha ha.

They faced competition from all over the country, Illinois, Texas, and Florida, and came out on top.

"It hasn't even honestly set in, even though it's been a full year that we've known about it," McCarty said.
