Each year, Ralph DeWeil pulls down the attic door and unleashes the Christmas decorations that the whole DeWeil family will assemble all over the house — literally. It's a tradition that started when he was a kid and has grown larger ever since. DeWeil sets the lights to music and recently helped a Demarest teen make a display honoring his late mother.

BodyBuilding Love Story: Hackensack Couple Takes Relationship To New Levels
HACKENSACK, N. J. — It took courage for Hackensack bodybuilder Kenny Kelly to stand on a stage at less than 4 percent body fat among the best in the U.S. for judging. That was last month at the biggest national competition in Miami, where he placed eighth. There with him was his girlfriend, Dumont native Krysten Wondrack, who came in 22nd in her class of 50. Kelly knew that when he came home, though, he'd have to muster up even more courage than he had for the show and pop the question to Wondrack. The pair now has plans to tie the knot.
