MULLICA HILL, N.J. (CBS) — Steve Harbaugh started decking out his home Clark Griswold-style back in 2018, but he said he could have never imagined the National Lampoon star Chevy Chase would be there to help flip the switch. But on Sunday, he was.

Harbaugh started decorating his Mullica Hill home after his father George died. At the same time, he started a nonprofit called George's House dedicated to making sure every child has a toy at Christmas and a home to spend it in. Both the holiday display and the nonprofit have grown exponentially since then.

Chase, who starred in the 1989 film "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," joined Harbaugh to open Harbaugh's Village, which includes extensive Christmas lights as well as ice skating, games, live entertainment and more, for the season.
