"Come on by and have a look"

Giant decorations galore at Empire Drive home

For nearly a decade, Dave and his wife have been decorating their lawn with giant air blown Christmas figures.

This year, thirteen of the massive lawn ornaments are on display, including a Santa in a sleigh that towers over Dave's house.

"We just put them up there for the enjoyment of the kids," said Dave, who didn't want to give his last name. "Kids around here will come and pound on my door if I haven't put them up early enough for them yet."

Dave's children are grown so he keeps the display going for the neighbourhood and adds to the collection every year. 

"We had a few go missing last year unfortunately," said Dave. "We had a Santa shack stolen, space cadets stolen and Santa's tub was stolen."

There's one more decoration in Dave's basement that he's debating putting out but his lawn is almost full.

"That's alright. We got a backyard," laughs Dave.

His holiday message?

"I just hope everybody has a good Christmas. Come on by and have a look at it."

Do you have a photo of your holiday lights that you are proud of?  Do you know a neighbour who has done a great decorating job?
