Christmas in Brooklyn

We read about a neighborhood in Brooklyn called Dyker Heights, which is apparently known for going all out with Christmas decorations. Since you don't see many single family homes in Manhattan, we were excited to venture out to a "normal" neighborhood.

The traffic in the neighborhood was congested! Looks like we weren't the only ones who had heard of Dyker Heights.



The houses were...well, some were beautiful, some were gaudy, some were cute. It's hard to generalize. This one in particular seemed to have so many lawn ornaments, you could barely see a lawn!



We enjoyed walking around the area and getting in the Christmas spirit - especially since we can't even fit a Christmas tree in our apartment, let alone decorate a front yard!
