One of my very favorite things about the Holidays are the sights & lights!

And these are simply some of the best ;-)

So make some hot chocolate, a sweet treat 

get in the car & check these houses out!

8 Patrick Dr. in Lagrangeville

Turn up your radio and roll the windows down for quite the show!

155 Vaneck Dr. in New Rochelle

You'll peak inside some beautiful window displays including one of Santa's workshop!

21 North Kensico Rd. in White Plains

To see a real life gingerbread house!

185-07 80th Dr. in Jamaica Estates 

I've wanted to go to this house for so long, 

take a look at their facebook page just to see how awesome!

Between 11th & 13th Ave. from 83rd to 86th St. in Dyker Heights

An experience that take you by foot and will require some sunglasses it's so bright!
