'The joy and the magic' of the Dyker Heights Christmas lights

DYKER HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (PIX11) -- It’s considered one of the best New York City attractions during the holiday seasons. Dozens and dozens of Dyker Heights homes are decorated with larger-than-life Santas, snowmen, reindeer, nutcrackers and nativity scenes.

“The lights are really cool, and there are so many, and there are bubbles everywhere,” Emily Casamento, 10, told PIX11 News.

The six children of the combined Casamento - Sullivan families of Staten Island and New Jersey couldn’t stop “ooh and aahing” at these larger-than-life Christmas decorations in Dyker Heights, complete with Snowmen spewing fake snow.

“All the decorations and moving blowups,” Juliet Casamento, 11, answered when asked what her favorite part was.
