Is A Lights Tour On Your Xmas To-do List?

Wednesday, 21 December 2022 12:36

If you still need some help to feel festive... try a visit to Grands Vaux!

Ok, it's not Lapland - but the lights that festoon number 9 Whiteley Close can't not make your heart glow.

John Hammon has been decorating his house since 2005, and is hoping for a bumper year for visitors this Christmas:

"All the money goes to Cancer Relief Jersey, and so far over the years we have probably hit £10,000.

It is for a very good cause."

He is hoping islanders will put a visit on their list of last-minute Christmas preparations.

"I take my working holidays in November to do the Christmas lights. I don't go on holiday - I just enjoy doing it.

We made a sleigh for the kids this year - handmade, from donated wood.

The neighbours love it! One of my neighbours comes by every night and puts money in the charity pot. We give him a little sweet and he sits in the sleigh."
