Holiday decorations at the Broomall home of Steve Reynolds have a decidedly Philadelphia Eagles appeal, but their meaning goes much deeper than simply cheering the team on to victory., writes Aziza Shuler and Jim McHugh for CBS News Philadelphia.

Reynolds spent 14 hours creating a mini-Lincoln Field in his home’s front yard.

He did the same thing six years ago when the Eagles won the Super Bowl, but he was single, living at his mom’s house.

This time, Reynolds is married, with two boys, and he has a nephew he wants to honor.

Reynolds lost his two-year-old nephew, Luciano, in a drowning accident this past year, shaking the family.

“We have a foundation called ‘Luciano’s Light,’ and I wanted to do something to honor him,” Reynolds said. “Why not light up the community? The community came around for our family during that terrible time. And they loved it when I had the Eagles theme, so I was like, ‘I got to do this.'”

He’s keeping the Eagles Christmas display going through February.

“It’s for the Eagles, it’s for my nephew, it’s for the community, it’s for the city,” he said. “This is awesome.”
