We quite enjoy looking at these displays - as long as they aren't in our street. I saw some amazing house illuminations in America a few years back.

I outshine all my neighbours with Christmas bling. We have a holly wreath on the front door and Swedish candle lights in two of the front windows.

I hope no one thinks we are overdoing it.
