Christchurch Christmas light show

It was a cloudy but very muggy day today. We planned to go to a Christmas light show.  There are over 53 houses lit up with christmas lights in Christchurch and the one on 650 Shands Road is one of the most exciting ones.


Cars were lined up for km's and as we walked along we took the opportunity to make a picture of natures light show. This fellow came to see what I was up to.



A great show 


When we arrived the first impression was one of amazement. A carnival of lights. Such a feast. 


A view of the main display


There was lots more to see and the children (and me)  had a ball


This car was very cool too


Another stall with fun


Hundreds of people came through this night



   

Here an idea of the complete show

    Mother Nature sure knows how to put on an incredible light show now doesn't she. Hamilton has a few places with streets full of houses all lit up plus the Mormon Temple does a big thing. Certainly makes you feel festive!!

    Leuk is dit in de wintermaanden he, zo sprookjesachtig voor iedereen jong en oud.

    I'm a bit of a Scrooge when it comes to Christmas but you have to like the light shows.

    What a festival of magic, Marja. It must take them a couple of months to get that display up and running.

    What an elegant extravaganza of lights for the season. Nature comes in as a close second though. :)

    Beautiful photos, Marja! Such a light show is hardly seen in the Netherlands, I think. There is a huge Christmas tree in Gouda in December before Christmas. The tree is a present from Norway.
    Have a great week!
