Driving around the burbs of Sydney in the festive season is a treat for those who enjoy a bit of xmas cheer winking out at them from every other random house! Australian's seem to have the tendency to decorate (BLING OUT) their front yards and the front of their houses in huge, weird and colourful montages to Christmas. I'm talking about xmas lights being draped from every surface! Large inflatable Santa's, reindeer and snowmen stalking around every other corner and large bush waiting to surprise the unsuspecting passer-by.
There is even a gentleman in Brisbane who has co-ordinated a full out show with his Christmas lights. People can park in his street, tune in their car radio's and watch a totally co-ordinated light show! It amazing! (Take the time and watch the clip....its really cool!)

worst of all....
I LOVE IT!
I go out of my way to drive past the crazily decorated house down the street from me! I yell STOP the car....when I see an especially awesome display and proceed to take happy snappy's on my phone (making the traffic wait for me of course!)
There are whole neighborhoods that co-ordinate their deco, streets that run mini competitions and the odd lonely house bringing xmas cheer to the rest of a dark street!
At the after xmas sales this year....I'm buying lights....lots and lots of twinkly lights.....so next year neighbor beware....there will be new bling on the street!
