So many lights!

Our street has become a Christmas light mecca this year. There are literally busloads of people wandering and driving through! Almost all the houses have done something this year. We even made the newspapers for one of the best streets in the east.
There's even a kid on an electric bike kitted out like a sleigh with lights, dressed as santa handing out lollies.

The house that started it all....

The house next door to them.

The house opposite ours. They have a life size Santa waxwork by the door.

The other house opposite us. The one in between had lights too, but they've gone away.

Our tree and window lights. You can see psychedelic house across the road the background.

Small string of lights we wrapped around the front porch. Our meagre contribution since the front eaves are too high to put up lights and we don't have external power. These babies are solar.

How beautiful! Do the lights go out at a certain time, however? I'm thinking it may be difficult to sleep if they're beaming in your bedroom window.

Most of them switch off a bit after midnight, except the ones like ours that are solar and flash all night until it's light enough to switch themselves off. I'm lucky my room is on the side of the house and the old folks at the front of the house like it being brightly lit (whereas I love it extra dark - we're so not related....) :)
