Earlier I showed you the first house in an Invercargill cul-de-sac where a number of near neighbours created cheerful Christmas displays that light up their lane. Here are the rest of the illuminations from neighbouring properties. Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand. Taken 07 Dec 2018
A resident at the end of the cul-de-sac had lights coming down their driveway to the street front including the street tree. Very cheerful touch! – via Nigel
We walked down a short driveway to admire this property with its colourful illuminations. I loved the reflections of the coloured lights. – via Liz

This is the last property we came across on this little cul-de-sac. – both via Liz
The lights on this tree (below) were large and colourful but neither of us were able to adequately capture the colours on our cellphones. It made a lovely display.

Interesting! I thought Southland, NZ decoration might look quite tame compared to USA. You have such easy access to a great variety of goods over there. On our drive home that night Nigel and I discussed where people get all the decorative elements from because there’s quite a variety. Other than NZ shopping I wonder if they order online from overseas or maybe buy stuff when travelling and get it shipped back home. I have no idea!

In Austin there’s a tradition of Christmas lights on 37th Street.

The joy of popping the kids in the car and touring the best lights in the area. It truly is amazing how much effort some people will go to… But oh how we appreciate it 😊
