Some households in Greater Dandenong are doing a bit of extra this Christmas.

Star Journal photographer GARY SISSONS captured some of our neighbourhoods’ best Christmas lights displays.

3 Parkmore Road Keysborough

This family have been doing Christmas decorations for display ever since they moved to their house 10 years ago!

The family said the families of children in the area weren’t well off so they continued with the Christmas displays to make the children happy and handed out chocolates to the kids.

The display consists of Christmas tree snowman, arch way on the fence line, Santa, reindeer, penguins, elf, sloth off the letterbox and flamingos.

It takes two days to put out these small to medium decorations but the neighbourhood kids love the display and get excited.

The Christmas display for this house has been going on for 15 years after the resident was inspired by his friends’ decorations.
