This weekend went by in the blink of an eye (don’t they always?). I love the holiday season, so once December hits I am in full-on holiday mode. I usually wait until the middle of the month to go and pick out a Christmas tree, but this year I decided to get a head start on the process, so I would have more time to enjoy it (nothing beats that fresh tree smell).
But when a friend mentioned a holiday historic house tour in Huntington, the town where I grew up, decorating the tree took a back seat. I was completely unaware that such a tour even took place, but for $40 you can view a variety of homes that are decked out for the holidays. From historic properties with original details from the 1800’s to homes that looked like they were straight out of the HGTV show, “You Live in What?,” the tour made for a memorable day that will get you in the holiday spirit.

Thanks, Victoria. So glad you enjoyed the snaps!
Oh, there’s nothing better than historic houses decorated for Christmas! It’s a bit of a hike from Long Island, but if you have a chance to spend the weekend up in Hyde Park, they do beautiful decorations at FDR’s house and the Vanderbilt mansion up there!
I’ve always wanted to visit Hyde Park, Kristin. I’m adding it to my itinerary this month!
