Merry Christmas! The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid ride don’t care if you’ve been naughty or nice, we appreciate all of our readers. We’re kicking off Christmas week with some awesome pictures from one particular house in Brooklyn. There is one house in Dyker Heights that is so well-known that it has its own special on PBS. This isn’t that house, this is one that think is even better. Actually, it is three houses who get together and make one amazing display for charity. Enjoy!

    WOW ! My parents used to tell me about competitions between blocks for the best Christmas display in Chattanooga, TN. I was too young to really remember that, but THIS kind of reminds me of their stories. & in my previous apartment building, we had an informal contest between the various floors ( all 13 ). The prize was mostly bragging rights, but it could be fun.

      Interestingly, the rest of this block is almost barren of decorations! Sadly, there are a lot less decorated houses in general than in years past.

        I read a piece of an aricle that stated that our Christmas displays – the more elaborate ones, anyway – can theoretically be viewed from orbit. I’m inclined to believe that displays such as this one can. I find that interesting.
