It might have 90,000 fairy lights, but this is one festive light display that doesn't cost the earth.
By using low-energy LED bulbs, the families of Trinity Rise in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, are saving themselves hundreds of pounds - and doing their bit to save the planet.
Nick Gardner said the 15,000 lights on his house increased his electricity bill by just £13 a week.

The dazzling displays are the result of a friendly competition between Mr Gardner and his neighbours, the Woodberrys, which started ten years ago.
Six families on the street now get involved in the fun, lighting up their houses from 4-10pm.
Mr Gardner, an electrician, spends two days fitting the lights to his house.
