Neighbourhood Wonderland

COME rain or shine, at about 5pm each evening from now till the first week of January, it is showtime at the Westnedge residence on Watten Estate Road.

With a flick of the switch, 5,000 Christmas lights come on, and several inflatables in the shape of Christmas trees, Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman come alive.

It is a Christmas light-up that the family - semi-retired John, his wife Michelle who works in the finance industry, and their daughters, Stephanie and Victoria - have been putting up since they moved into their three-storey house six years ago.
