So you can see the Illesley's Christmas light display.
00:04
They've been doing it for the last 10 years and over that 10 years they've added more and more items.
00:08
And I believe now, speaking of Bradley who does the display, that we've got over 100 different decorations here.
00:14
Just coming around you can see you've got plenty of Santa clauses.
00:21
You'll see you've got Snowman, you've got Snoopy there.
00:24
You've got all the decorations on the wall there with a big Merry Christmas sign.
00:28
This year they are raising money for Heel2Toe which is a charity which supports disabled children.
00:36
We've even got a little box here where the children will put their letters to Santa about what they want for Christmas.
00:44
Coming further around here you can see we've got the entrance to the house so the decorations continue.
00:52
You can see pretty much every inch of house and also of the garden is covered in decorations.
00:59
OK then Brad you've been doing this for the last 10 years so I suppose the question really is why? Why do you do it?
01:07
I just love Christmas and seeing all the smiles on kids' faces.
01:10
And how many items have you got?
01:12
I've got over 100 easily.
01:14
And you're raising money for charity this year, which charity are you raising money for?
01:17
It's Heel2Toe Children's Charity.
01:20
And I understand there's also been other charities you've raised money for in the past?
01:23
Yes, it's the British Heart Foundation and the National Autistic Society.
01:27
And you don't vote at Christmas?
01:29
Yes, but I love it.
