    Default Santas house...

    This is our nearest neighbours house - they go all out with the decorations each year..they have a big collection box for the local childrens hospital outside for all the people coming to see it. People come from miles to see it. the only downside is that we are the next house along and everyone turns there cars in our drive - its a constant stream of cars from 6-10pm the whole month of decenber

    the picture quality is not that great but you can sort of see it

    How neat! I wish our neighborhood had a house like that. I'm sure your neighbor raises lots of money for such a great cause!

    Wow! Rachel, do your house lights dim when this guy switches on every evening?

    It's nice he donates money to charity, but I wouldn't want to swap 'leccy bills with him!

    Wow, that's something! How about him putting a hat out to for driveway wear & tear?

    LOL, the electric board but a separate line in for him for the lights and they pay for the cost as its for charity, although with the price per unit going up so much I think we are all paying for it really.

    Thanks for sharing! I love Christmas lights!

    I think that is a nice idea....donating the money to charity.

    He has a lovely display. What a nice thing for the electric company to do, putting in a separate free line for the display. I can never imagine any of our electric companies in this area doing that, here they are all about the money. I think they need to get some of the good Irish Christmas spirit that your electric board has.

    Thanks for sharing the picture with us.
