Shirley and Robert O'Brien could be considered Christmas light royalty after never failing to decorate their house for 10 years.

"There is always something you want to change, but it looks good, and everybody has been happy," Mrs Roberts said.

"My husband is pretty proud as I had to be the director and has worked his butt off to get it all done.

"We have had really positive comments and appreciation messages."

Mrs Roberts said the street has been busy as people pull up to check out the light display, with one three-year-old enchanted by Father Christmas himself.

"We had one little girl, and she took ownership of the Santa Claus, and she did not want to leave," she said.

The organiser of the Wagga Christmas Lights page - who preferred to remain anonymous - has been putting together a handy list for the past few years.

She added it was the perfect way to enjoy the festive season in a socially distanced manner.

"It's a great way to get into the Christmas spirit and appreciate all the effort that these houses go to," she said.

"The community goes above and beyond every year."

The organiser's top tips for this year was to check out the house on the corner of Brooklyn Drive and Tubbo Place in Bourkelands which will feature three snow machines from December 22 to 24.

"Their garage is open from December 20 to 24 for a walkthrough with Christmas carols," she said.

"On Melaleuca Drive at Forest Hill, there is a home with inflatables on the roof and projector screens playing movies from Monday.

"And, Garu place in Glenfield is one to check it out as they do it every year and they do a smashing job."

It's not only residents and visitors who benefit from the displays, but one local business is even taking advantage.

Maddish coffee owners Shannon and Scott Curtis will be setting up their van in the Bourkelands during the week leading up to Christmas.

"We live in Brownlow Drive, so when COVID lockdown was on we took the van down to the little park, and people came and got a coffee and had a chat," Mrs Curtis said.

"So I thought since people come out to the Bourkelands to look at Christmas lights and walk around, it would be good for us to get out and about."

Mrs Curtis said Christmas light hunting with family or friends was a great way to enjoy the holiday season while remaining socially distanced.
