The Huffington Post shared a video by MyBlockNYC of the amazing display of Christmas lights and cheer at the house on 166th Street between 23rd and 24th Avenues in Bayside Whitestone (GMAP). It’s an incredible scene and has become a holiday standard in the neighborhood. Displayed are classic figures of Santa and snowmen, music, moving model trains, and lights, lights, lights!

Here is the scene from last December:

The house is owned (and operated) by Kevin Lynch, and he takes 7 weeks to put it all up each year – he’s been doing this for 17 years and calls it a “labor of love.” He says this time of year the planes taking off from LaGuardia Airport can see his house from the air.

There’s nothing else really like it around his immediate area, and he says his only real competition in NYC is the display at Dyker Hights, Brooklyn which has gaines some notoriety over the years.
