While the pandemic overshadows another holiday season, our residents are sharing light and cheer with their neighbors.

This is not a “best of” gallery but rather a sampling of homes throughout our neighborhoods with eye-catching decorations.

The team at Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service wishes you and yours a joyous holiday season.
