With Christmas rapidly approaching, people are decorating their homes and gardens with Christmas lights, inflatable reindeer and fake snow. 

If you are decorating your home with Christmas lights then share your efforts with the community. Head over to the registration form to tell us where your home is and we’ll add you to our online Christmas lights map so people can easily find your display. 

Remember to send us a photo with your entry so we can add your home to our Christmas lights slideshow.

If you have a community news story you’d like to share with us, you can now send in your stories and photos using our online forms. Check them out.
