For Crystal and Jason Balderi, the love of all things Christmas has grown every year. This year, the front of their Ballina Road house, lawn and driveway are lit up with hundreds of sparkling lights – and there’s Christmas carols playing from a speaker system.
The couple have been lighting up their home for the past four years and this week, they were excited to add a two metre high Santa Claus to their spectacular Christmas show.
“We love Christmas,” Crystal said. “We have two young children and my six year old loves the display.
“My mum gave us the new Santa Claus because she knows we love it – now it’s our favourite decoration.”
It took the couple three days to set up the magical light show and Crystal said since they have been lighting up, more and more people on their road have been decorating their houses too and she loves seeing it.
“We had a few people stop and tell us how good it was and beep their horn as they go past,” she laughed.
There’s little snowflakes and a rope light lining the footpath, Christmas boxes, a kangaroo and waterfall lights on two sets of windows.
“The window lights are laser lights and they beat in time to the Christmas carols,” Crystal said.
The Balderi’s lights turn on at 6.30pm each night and turn off at midnight, so if you take a drive by 173 Ballina Road, you can take a look at the Balderi’s spirit of Christmas.
