Lighting up

It's Christmas - and time again for wonderful displays of exterior illumination. The discount shop on the high street (main shopping thoroughfare) is ablaze with colour and light - and in The Daily Telegraph today there's an item on John and Sheryne Kovacevic - a Hurstville (Sydney) couple who have spent $50,000 on decorating their house with Christmas lights - and that's only inside! Just kidding - but not about their "investment". This is the couple's 11th year - and 110,000 lights later it's amazing that their electricity bill only increases by $5. The couple's efforts last year raised $15,000 for charity. If you're in the area pop in - Hodge Street, Hurstville - their lights are on from 8-10.30 pm each night.
