Lighting up for Christmas

Enthusiastic Christmas lovers in the western Polish town of Legnica have decorated their homes and gardens with around 50-thousand lights.

The Duszenko family have been covering their house in Christmas lights for the past decade, and along the way they have won a number of competitions.

The lights take about two months to put up, but housewife says it is all worthwhile, because it is appreciated by so many people.

Wiktoria Duszenkom House Owner, said, "There are five thousand lights here, and it's two months of hard work, but it's worth it."

Grzegorz Duszenko, Son, said, "We have tours coming here, people come and see. It's nice to look at the lights when you go for a walk at Christmas."
