Daniel Reyner, 23, of Dodworth Drive, Kettlethorpe, who lives with his partner Sarah Worley, 25, and sons Joshua, three, and Henry Rayner, two, said he had spent hundreds of pounds creating the ultimate winter scene.
He said: "The lights triple my weekly electricity bill but children love to see them. My son Henry, who suffers from a heart condition, also loves the lights and I'l'll carry on doing this for him."
Another bright spark who turns the outside of his St Johns home into a dazzling pyrotechnics display is Andrew Hemingway.
Mr Hemingway, 45, his wife Michelle, 43, and children Brittany, eight, Wesley, eight, Joshua, 11 and Nathan, 15, have covered the whole of their home in Cyprus Avenue with dozens of decorations for the past five Christmases.
He said: "Each year we add to the decorations, spend more money on lights, it takes longer to put them up and our electricity bill increases. It's a bit over the top, but its worthwhile."
Sylvia Walker, 63 and her husband John, 65, of Woodhouse Road, Eastmoor, have the outside of their home filled with Christmas lights and each December they pipe Christmas music into the street as their decorations light up.
She said: "The lights display is something we love to do. Initially it was for my grandson Tom Morley and children of friends and it's snowballed from there. We both love Christmas and love to light up."
Christmas is always a special time for committed Yuletide fan Steven Chalkley, 35.
Mr Chalkley, who lives with his partner Christina Beeching, and his children Luke, seven, Lea, six, Holly, two, and Ryan, 13, began his decorating obsession four years ago.
He said: "I put the decorations up in about mid-November and they stay until just after New Year's day and children round here really appreciate them. As long as they want them then I shall continue to put them up each year."
