Frank Guarino, who started the extravaganza
back in 1965, he said.
“We start the last Saturday in October,
and work every weekend until the
fi rst Sunday in December, when we
open the lights,” Seddio said.
The lighting is a December mustsee
for many local families, and holds a
particularly special place in the hearts
of one Brooklyn couple, who, after four
years of recreating their fi rst date at
Seddio’s spectacle, got engaged during
last year’s event at the residence.
The local political leader’s 2018
light show incorporates elements nodding
to Hanukkah and Kwanza as well
as Christmas, and features such whimsical
components as a Disney-themed
section with Mickey and Minnie
Mouse, an ice-skating rink for Smurfs,
a hot air balloon and a zeppelin, and a
fi ve-foot-tall menorah.
And the reveal event wasn’t just a
feast for the eyes — the host treated its
some 1,500 attendees to festive sounds
provided by the chorus from Canarsie’s
PS 115, which returned to the lighting
for the 20th year, and other singers
from the neighborhood’s Holy Family
Church, as well as performances
by Bay View Houses’ resident singer
Gloria Boyce, and a dance group from
Bildersee Junior High School.
But the star of the show, of course,
was Mr. Claus himself, who delighted
CHIPOTLE
tion, where there’s no parking either,”
Hamilton said. “They’ve been waiting
for something close, where they have
parking.”
Following the ribbon cutting, local
looky-loos popped into the eatery to
check it out, including a couple from
Canarsie not familiar with the chain
or its cuisine.
“I’ve never eaten here but I’m going
to try it,” said Cheryl Wiener, who
swung by with her husband Albert.
An East New Yorker who receives
physical therapy across the street
from the restaurant, and stopped in
for an avocado and pork taco on opening
day, said she is thrilled there’s
a new option for a quick bite in the
neighborhood.
“It’s beautiful, and the staff is very
nice. Everybody is nice when they
fi rst open up, but they’re very good,”
said Geneva Ziglar.

Ave. between Avenues K and L in

am to 10 pm.

local youngsters by making the long
journey from the North Pole to Canarsie,
according to a Mill Basin mom.
“The kids really loved seeing
Santa,” said Vanessa Wein.
Wein, who attended the event with
her fi ancee Anthony Vaccaro, 13-yearold
step son Michael, and 5-year-old
daughter Isabella, said her tots made
sure to take advantage of their face
time with the jolly old elf.
“Isabella asked Santa for unicorn
stuff, a new phone, and stuff by You-
Tube celebrity Jojo Siwa,” the mom
said.
The bearded man of the hour
wasn’t the only special guest — Mickey
Mouse and the Cat in the Hat both also
stopped by, along with Cookie Monster
— who couldn’t help but eat most of the
sweet treats set out for attendees, Seddio
said.
The light spectacle will be up
through the end of the year, according
to the homeowner.
And, after Santa fi nishes his Dec.
25 worldwide present delivery, the elf
and his wife will return to the house
on Dec. 26, where they can be viewed
in a special display until Seddio dismantles
the whole shebang, he said.
Seeing the sheer joy his lights bring
to young observers is what inspires
Seddio to repeat the herculean effort
year after year, he said.
“Just take a look at the smile of a
5-year-old kid. It’s priceless, nothing
better than looking at kids enjoying
the display,” Seddio said.
