Mrs Bird said: "We do it for the children. It's really lovely to see their little faces light up. They all come along to have a look at the lights. They say they are fantastic this year."

Or are you going green?

Of course, not everyone likes to go barmy at Christmas time.

Some like to do their best for the environment all through the year, so strings upon strings of fairy lights are no-no '“ but many come up with some innovative ways of brightening up their home while still going green.

So we want to hear how you, and your family, have done that.
