Considering the fact that we’ve officially entered the time of year when we find most of New York pitch black by four in the afternoon, our residents have never more needed some extra illumination in their lives. Many of the Empire State’s residents have begun to hang up their holiday decorations to add some literal extra light into their lives, while others may choose to seek out what magical festivities await them nearby during this time of year. If you’re ready to explore what enchanting adventure awaits you out in Central New York during the month of December, see why this holiday candlelight walk will complete your season!
