Xmas in Brooklyn House-Decoration Photos

[Breukelen advocaat]

We went to Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, and last night to see the decorated houses. I took some photos (attached).

Many of the homes there are mini-estates, not typical of the average Brooklyn neighborhood, and people travel great distances for a yearly visit to see the sights. The mild weather, about 50 degrees, felt more like September than December. There was even a guy (or woman) in a â??snowmanâ?� costume directing traffic. Other costumes have been seen as well.

In addition to my photos, there are very nice collections of the 2005 Dyker Heights Xmas decorations online:

The Vegas is Brooklyn diner. These establishments usually have many colorful, local characters. I didn't photograph any "social clubs", and wouldn't advise anyone else to, either. :D

there's some places like that in PA and NJ, we used to go drive around and see them; some people have it set up a few weeks before xmas/holidays and sit outside and hand out candy canes.

there was a brownstone in manhattan that had a headless and bloodied santa clause and many bloody and headless barbie dolls and other oddly inappropriate things........but was all perfectly legal, cops couldn't do shit about it despite all the calls from neighbors.

Yes, here's some pictures of the "murderous" santa!

This would not have gone over well in Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, Bensonhurst, Mill Basin, or most any other Brooklyn neighborhood, lol!
