An Isle of Wight home has been named as having the best large display of Christmas lights in the UK.
It's the third year of 'Illumination Street' entries, with numbers doubling from last year.
As homes across the Island shine for Christmas - with many raising money for worthy charities - one property stands out among the rest.
A home in Goldcrest Close, Newport has been attracting hundreds of Islanders, all keen to take videos and pictures of the incredible lights display.
It takes owner, Matt Whitham, months to set it all up - with all money raised going to Suicide Prevention IW and The Samaritans.
Announcing the winner of the 'Best Large Display', IlluminationStreet.com said:
"In first place, taking home £1,000 in vouchers, is 24-year-old retail worker Matt Witham, from the Isle of Wight.
"For nearly 10 years, Matt has created a bigger and better display than the year before, and with a bigger display comes a bigger crowd.
"The walls, trees and shrubs are used as surfaces to cover with lights, from multicolour LEDs, to animated snowmen, trees, and stars. Every inch of the house and fences are illuminated, with a symmetrical design on the front of the house with Christmas puddings and star lights.
"In the main part of the garden there is a raised section embellished with a garland with red and gold baubles, topped with a snowman surrounded by presents.
"There’s also a miniature bridge festooned with a garland and a foliage wreath, positioned over an icy scene with polar bears and penguins."

The website added:
"There were hundreds of submissions of front doors, gardens, and communities filled top-to-toe with dazzling lights and illuminations. Through a tumultuous year there is one thing that shone through and that is the spirit of Christmas.
"Many of the entrants use their displays to raise money for charities, and once again the stories show that hundreds of thousands of pounds have been raised for various causes.
"Illumination Street encourages Britain to light up their streets with Christmas cheer, with a competition sponsored by British Garden Centres group."
