It's time to show off your best Christmas lights

And this year the Observer is looking to ‘lit-up’ its websites with videos of the modern phenomenon to get everyone into the festive spirit.

Readers can send a short video clip of their own house lit up – or a clip of another home they find inspiring.
They will then be featured on the Observer’s websites and seen by thousands.
“We have all done it when we have walked or driven down a road, spotted the lights and thought they were amazing,” Mr Channon said.

“I know many parents go out of their way to find homes which are lit up and take their children to see them.
“So many of our readers do much a marvellous job of lighting up their homes so we want to see as many homes as possible from around our area.”
