Time's Up Christmas Light Tour

This past Sunday, Time's Up organized a group ride to Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, where apparently all of the residents keep up with the Jones-s come December with the most beautiful, ostentious Christmas light displays you have ever seen. The one pictured to the right is controlled by a computer. Yes, you read that right. It was written up in the New York Times, and boasts a radio sponsorship. Other notable houses had inflatable snow globes, animatronic reindeer, an enormous Santa statue seated in the lotus position, a scene from the Nutcracker, and the full cast of characters from A Christmas Carol with a recorded reading of the play on loop! If awards were given for best display, I'm sure the sheer competition of it all would lead to bloodshed. It was a beautiful ride, and a long one. The neighborhood is located near the Verrazano Bridge, and the ride started at City Hall.
