Over-the-top Dyker Heights Christmas displays draw some bah-humbugs
It’s a neighborhood Christmas display with New York City attitude: big, brash, loud and over-the-top.
Blazing lights, giant toy soldiers, angels, snowmen, wise men, Santas and piped-in Sinatra caroling form an all-out barrage on the senses from nearly every house in the heart of Brooklyn’s Dyker Heights neighborhood, an annual extravaganza that draws thousands of tourists every evening by the car and busload.
