I love this new segway Homeworthy came up with. We now get to meet the people who own these stunning one of a kind homes. What a joy!

[@redbougainvillea]

This was a great video. As a veteran, I'd like to send a special thanks to Barbara for lighting the Christmas trees in honor of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. What a beautiful tradition!

So beautiful. Lighting of the tree and family gathered with the full moon above...just brought tears to my eyes at Christmas time. Would have loved to see more of her home. It is wonderful.

I think there's another video of their beautiful home. Lovely people.

Loved this video, the house and neighborhood tour. We were members of Brick Church when we lived in Manhattan in the 80’s and early 90’s. So lovely to hear that the tree lighting tradition is alive and well!

What a lovely lady , don't normally like lots of different patterns together as I find it too busy but they have a real natural knack for putting things perfectly together that is so pleasing to the eye . fell in love with her home , her business ethos and how much she enjoys and is a solid and fundamental part of her community

[@Cenepk101]

Really a wonderful treat. Barbara is a down to earth gal. Loved the Park Tree Ceremony & her beautiful home ! And that diner.

[@annsmith7207]

As a native New Yorker, Christmas is magic. Wonderful to see all of the Park Avenue Christmas trees lit in the evening -- it is stunning and so festive -- so Barbara -- thanks for all of the work you do to make this happen! The townhouse is lovely but I am a huge fan of a real tree -- white pine -- and use the boughs and the tree trunk once the season is over for covering plants for the winter and the tree trunk is chopped up as logs for the fireplace. Thanks very much for this video and happy holidays everyone! ✨✨🎄🎄✨✨🎄🎄✨✨🎄🎄✨✨🎄🎄✨✨🎄🎄✨✨🎄🎄✨✨❤❤❤❤

Beautiful home and the courtyard is amazing! The tree lighting is very special.

[@arlenecal]

Wonderful video... if you're not quite in spirit with the holiday, this will surely do it!

[@obiopiah]

This has to be the coolest residence in NYC. I would prefer this to any of those multi million dollar mansions in the sky. The private neighborhood park is just the best part!

[@davidshep45]

What I love about the holiday decorations is the color choices. Many of the pieces could be used year round yet they still evoke a holiday spirit. The dining room table setting is gorgeous. The scattering of orange (my favorite color) throughout the home gives everything a warm glow.

[@silvergirl7810]

This just made me feel warm and fuzzy inside ❤ 🎄

[@kathrynwharton2236]

Love the lighting of her home; especially in winter. Must be a genius with color.

What a gorgeous woman and equally gorgeous home. The shared garden space is amazing. Her love of entertaining and family and friends is so heartwarming. And rice pudding was always my dads favorite. He liked raisins and nutmeg . He has been gone 6 years now and I haven't made it since. I think I will make some this weekend.
