For the last 45 years, the Garabedians have put on a larger-than-life display at their residence on Pelham Parkway North, in the Bronx.

The show is part wax museum, part theater.

The family's decorations now tally in at roughly 150 pieces.

The fiberglass dolls are handmade.

Visitors throw donations over the fence and the money is donated to church charities.

Gary Garabedian, one of the family's two sons, is the dedicated custodian who's been at it since age nine, along his sister Linda. Here, he demonstrates how the mannequins move.

Recently, Gary and his sister, Linda, painted the house exterior pink -- an homage, Gary said, to their late sister Elise, who had dreamed the house would take on the appearance of a real-life Barbie dollhouse.
