THE Journal and the City of Greater Dandenong want to light up the city this Christmas.
We’re encouraging residents to string up lights, bring out their inflatable Santas and decorate their lawn with fake snow and festive greetings then take a picture and upload it to the Journal’s Facebook site.
As councillor Roz Blades said, it’s all about spreading the joy and making strangers smile.
“For a number of years I’ve been driving around Greater Dandenong in the evening in early December and seeing some beautifully decorated houses, beautiful lights, reindeers, Father Christmases.
“People go to a huge amount of trouble. It must take them all year to get organised.“
Despite being Jewish, Cr Blades loves how the simple act of stringing up some Christmas decorations can bring communities together.
The Journal is encouraging readers to upload a photo of their house, Christmas tree or car decorated for the festive season at www.facebook.com/DandenongJournal.
City is set to sparkle
