Christmas day lights

This house near to where my parents live gets more and more lights every year. It must take them ages to put all of the lights up. I'm quite sure that I would have neither the energy nor the patience to do this. They ask for a donation to charity from all those stopping to view, which I think is really nice.

Taken with a long exposure using my brand new Giottos tripod and ball head. I am very, very pleased with my Christmas present.
