Honorable mention:  Wanda and Alain Charbonneau

Here's what Wanda and Alain had to say in their submission:

There is a story to why we decorate our property in both the front and also the backyard.

In 2007 on the August long weekend, our now 7 year old daughter at the age of 2yrs 10 months was diagnosed with cancer. By the time Christmas came that year, she was so immune compromised by the chemotherapy and radiation treatments We could not safely take her anywhere except the Children’s hospital for treatments.

Now most of our main floor windows face the back yard, and here we were putting up all these lights on the front of the house and she could not see them. Our “Aha”! Moment came and we quickly put up lights on the fence and shed, as well as created a little scene for her to enjoy the magic from the living room windows. We have continued to add to this scene for the last few years and probably will for the foreseeable future because it reminds us how lucky we are to have our healthy happy girl still with us! We are so blessed to have such an amazing hospital in ACH!!

We also are trend setters in the neighbourhood, there are probably 3-4 other neighbors who now also decorate their backyards!

Best other decoration

Leanne Boon - "This is what happens when $150 in candy barfs in my kitchen! The sad part is I'll be sunning myself on a beach over the holidays this year and won't be able to show it off or enjoy all my hard work!"

Honorable Mention - Angela Crone and her very understanding pooches, Gunner and Christy...


Thanks to everyone who entered! We had a hoot looking over the entries and picking the winners.

Merry Christmas!
