Light up, light up

Posted by Katie

So, the time has come to deck the halls and all that jazz, but when it comes to Christmas decorations there seems to be 3 main camps – the bah humbugs, the middle of the roaders and the all out exhibitionists.

Being a middle of the roader myself I can’t say that I have been involved in any Christmas decoration turf wars but I understand that the quest to completely cover your house in flashing lights, reindeer and snowmen can be an extremely expensive affair!

Although I may not be an all outer, my home city of York has (in the past) been voted the most Christmassy city in GB (woohoo!), so I feel this is good enough to make up for my mediocre efforts. In fact there is a street in York that has been covering their houses and gardens with twinkling lights and outdoor Christmas décor for 10 years, raising over £45,000 for charity – charity really does start at home!

Now that Christmas is nearly upon us, let me know what’s the most Christmassy house, street or even town you have seen – I might take some tips for next year!
