So many of you clearly enjoy making others happy at this time of year.
Belinda Harris moved to Hyland Park at Easter and her family thought decorating their house in Clarke Cl would be a good way to celebrate their fresh start.
"Being only new to the area our family decided that we would love to decorate our house for Christmas not just for our pleasure but for everyone to enjoy," she said.
"Plus with having a little seven-month-old grandson we wanted to bring a little bit of Christmas magic into our house to celebrate our new place, a new area, a new grandson and a new start for all my family."
Laura Partridge is one of the masterminds behind the epic display on Mann St and said, for her, Christmas is the best time of the year.
She loves watching happy families enjoying the Christmas lights.
Ron Edwards lives on Gumma Rd and this year his display features a huge array of wooden cut-outs, all lovingly constructed by himself. There's Spiderman, minions, the characters from Frozen, and a working ride-on Thomas the Tank engine constructed from a Golf Cart and a trailer he borrowed from the Jacks Ridge 3D Archery Club Inc.
He hopes Thomas "will be a hit with the littlies" this Christmas.
It was a joy to drive around and experience your creativity last night and call it 'work'. The photos really don't do the displays justice, you really must see them for yourself.
Here is the (non-exhaustive) list of the streets with the best displays to check out this festive season.
In no particular order:
- Reid St, Macksville
- Sturdee St, Macksville
- Joffre St, Macksville
- Ridge St, Nambucca
- Wellington Dr, Nambucca
- Briner St, Macksville
- Banksia Cres, Nambucca
- Macksville Heights Dr, Macksville Heights
- Piggott St, Nambucca
- Oxley St, North Mascksville
- Cottage Cl, Nambucca

- Susanna Pl, Macksville Heights
- Upper Warrell Creek Rd, Macksville Heights

If you have little ones and can only make it to a few displays before attention spans wane, then we suggest checking out Macksville Heights Drive - quite a few houses on the street have joined in on the fun.
Likewise, neighbours in Briner St, Macksville, have created their own little Christmas wonderland with blow-ups galore - not one to miss.
For best visual impact, we highly recommend Mann St in Nambucca (near the roundabout), 68 Gumma Rd in Macksville, Reid St in Macksville and Talara Cres in Nambucca.
Unfortunately we weren't able to make it out to all neighbourhoods in the Valley. If residents of Valla, Warrell Creek, Scotts Head, Bowraville etc have an impressive display they think people will enjoy, then please send us the details and we'll add it to our growing list.
From all of us here at Guardian News, have the most wonderful Christmas and New Year.
