Who drives past the house on Thornes Road with the HUGE Christmas Tree in the window that looks like it was just built for that tree!! (it’s WF2 8QD if you’re wondering). Last year I was sent a few facts about the tree from the lovely owners … it is a 14 foot high REAL tree, takes a whole weekend to decorate and they need a huge ladder to get to the top!
Here’s a time lapse video from 2020 of how it was created – CLICK HERE

Carol and Alex have been lighting up Stanley, Wakefield for 34 years which was originally started for their disabled daughter Gemma better known as Poppy who was born disabled. Due to health and life’s challenges she missed out on most childhood things that most people take for granted and seen as they love Christmas so much they started lighting up their house. Over the years it’s got bigger and bigger now is so big it attracts people from all over! This year they have decided to do it for charity (Disability Action Yorkshire), as Poppy has received help from various charity’s over the years.
100% of the donation given goes straight to the charity
