Back in year 2001, my family's friend brought us to experience the spirit of Christmas in Melbourne. They brought us to a suburb where the houses along the entire road were fully decorated with fantastic moving displays, some even with musical.
From then on, every Christmas, I always wanted to relive the experiences again. And that's what we did 2 weeks back. We went to a few suburbs, some near and some an hour drive away just to get the best Christmas lights. We might seem enthusiastic but compared to some home owners that have been decorating their homes for years, we don't come close. :D
Some of the decorations were so good that there was a long queue of cars, all waiting their turn to drive up to the front of the house for a good view of the decorations. Some home owners even offered candy canes to all children.
Below are some of the photos that turn out alright.

Christmas lights - 8There were 2 houses (Doncaster East & Frankston) that we both find most impressive, all the lights were synced to music. The lights were on every night and the music were broadcast on the local FM. There's over 20,000 lights, lots of colour and action! :) Our personal favourite is the Frankston house (photo #10). The music is more powerful and lively. We managed to capture the light presentations but it's not an award winning quality. :D
