In Case You Did Not Know It,

Christmas is just a few weeks away,

so it was time for electrician Alex Goodhind to bring out the Christmas lights, nearly 100,000 of them! he uses them to decorate his home in Melksham, Wiltshire, and takes him a month to complete the wiring, but it is not just for himself and his family, he helps raise thousands of pounds for charity thanks to the donations from the hundreds of people who visit to see it for themselves, married father Mr Goodhind, 43, started the tradition eight years ago after deciding to make use of all the lights and decorations he had gathered over the years,

after raising £4,000 for the Dorothy House Hospice in nearby Bradford on Avon in 2009, he took a two year break but he decided to start again and hopes to raise even more for the charity this year, despite the coachloads of visitors who flock to the suburban street to catch a glimpse of his display, Mr Goodhind says most neighbours are supportive of his decision to switch on the lights once again, what a great gesture, I just hope a mean minded person from the Health & Safety brigade do not arrive and tell him to switch off!
