All 1,200 tickets for the Garden Club of Long Beach Island’s 57th annual Holiday Tour of Homes, “Jingle on the Waves,” sold out fast. They always do.

On Thursday, Dec. 12 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., five spectacular summer homes in Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars and Beach Haven will be open for viewing, extraordinarily decorated to showcase not only the splendor of the season but the vision and talent of the club members who put it all together.

Each house has a decorating committee tasked with the design and execution of dreams, themes and color schemes.
