BIG-hearted Peter Thomas goes out in a blaze of glory . . . as he makes his last Christmas lights display his best ever.
Peter ? who has spent more than ?25,000 over 25 years building up his collection of decorations ? has decided to stop the annual spectacular as he is soon to turn 70.
This time he has used a record 40,000 bulbs on his house in Kilgetty, Wales. Visitors who come to see his annual show have donated over ?55,000 to cancer research. Peter said: ?It?s worth it just to see kids? faces.?

That's absolutely brilliant. What a sweetheart to do this to see the reaction of children. That man has a big heart for sure and gives a lot of enjoyment out to a lot of people. Good on him
It makes Clark Griswold's look piss poor ![Laughing](images/smiles/LOLGA.GIF) |

that does look brilliant - just a shame it's so wasteful. |

One of our local Electrical Contractor Companies does a huge display every year...
I'd hazzard a guess that there are as many, if not more lights, just not in such a cramped space as it is spread out over 3/4s of an acre with many scenes as well as the main building.
Their display is also set to / timed to music.
You pull up outside, tune your radio to either their AM or FM fequency & watch in awe as the whole thing runs through about 40 min's worth of carols, xmas themed music & such.
If I get the spare time I will attemp to capture some on video & link to it. |

Nothing wrong with living on Fleet Street next to a tabloid paper...

I know what you mean, I'd be more pissed at the noise from the crowd, imagine the litter / trash too.... |

It could be a positive thing if he did. He could add a bit of erm 'snow' to the design? |

Maybe he should bid on the ebay auction for some artificial snow - if he can find the auction, that is!! ![Confused](images/smiles/SCRATCHHMMGA.GIF) |
