Over the last few years there has been a trend for people in Essex to be more and more ostentatious with their Christmas lighting; where the brightness of the display is usually more important than any aesthetic considerations. Here are some shots of houses in my area. What do you think of them?

Sorry about the picture quality, but I'm from Essex too, so who cares?

Love it! Cheerful, fun, and a lot of work to get everything in place and plugged in. Nubster · 2008-12-23: 19:44

Same thing here - we even have competitions for the best displays. I think they're beautiful :-) jet28 · 2008-12-24: 02:26
