This PA Restaurant Goes All Out For Christmas: See How It's Done

MONONGAHELA, PA — For the fifth consecutive year, this Italian restaurant in a small town about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh has shown an impressive dedication for celebrating the holiday season.

Angelo's II's currently is adorned with dozens of illuminated snowflakes on all sides of its building. A giant Christmas tree rises from the eatery's signage above its entrance to the top of the structure. Garland is placed along the sides of the roof. Once the garland was installed, Angelo's went to work putting air in the giant inflatables of Santa, several reindeer.

The Santa inflatable hangs over the side of the building. Behind him is an inflatable sleigh filled with presents.

Angelo's owner Ryan Dzimiera started the tradition of setting up eye-catching gargantuan holiday displays in 2018, when he put a giant Santa Claus on the roof of his building for the Christmas season. Displays for Easter and Halloween soon followed.

According to Dzimiera, about 50 hours of labor are required to put up the holiday display. How did they do it? Sam Kallow of Mon Valley Drone, an aerial photography and videography captured the process this year and condensed it to a YouTube video that's two and a half minutes long.

Locals love this year's display.

"Thank you for caring," Mary Petrosky wrote on the restaurant's Facebook page. "So beautiful."

"Whoa!" Margie Hommey Papariella wrote. "Thank you for making Monongahela festive and beautiful!"

Jessica Tyre kept her review of the display succinct and on-the-spot accurate: "Magical!!"
