With every passing year, Canberra's street/house lighting grows ever bigger. In truth, whether you think it's magical or just downright naff, the city's warm summer nights actually make it really conducive to touring round by car and on foot admiring the light displays that people have set up on and around their houses.
We were late in our tour of the illuminations this year, but actually Christmas eve was a pretty perfect time to do it. We saw everything from the ubiquitous inflatable Santa, (literally) millions of lights and an inflatable Rudolf that was almost as tall as the house it stood next too. One street (Bissenberger Crescent) which has become locally famous(!) for putting on a huge display (the houses in the Crescent usually have amongst other things, lasers and a snow machine) didn't run this year - they've decided to do it bi-annually instead, but there were plenty of other houses which more than made up for their absence.
