The Hamptons is abuzz with celebratory visitors and locals this holiday season. Kids are off from school, young adults are home from college and everyone is out and about enjoying this unseasonably balmy weather. And what would all these good times mean if not forever immortalized on social media?

Below we present some of our favorite pictures from around the South Fork that capture the spirit of Christmas and what you did during your vacation. It’s all here—dogs in Santa hats, Christmas lights, a lot of windmills, quiet beaches, Showtime’s The Affair beach house, holiday artwork, good food, sunsets, family gatherings and more! Did we mention windmills?

To be considered for future Best of #Hamptons Instagram posts, use the #hamptons and #danspapers hashtags. We’ll be looking for them!
