A Dublin man pulled out all the stops with his Christmas lights this year for the loveliest reason
LOOKING FOR A bit of Christmas spirit? This house in Dublin has it by the bucketload.

Sean White from Palmerstown first started putting up Christmas lights (simple strings of bulbs around the windows) about 20 years ago, and his display has only gotten bigger and brighter since then.
He told DailyEdge.ie that it takes the whole month of November to plan out and set up the display:
The switching on of the lights has even become a bit of a neighbourhood tradition. Last Friday, dozens gathered to watch him light up the house:

The lights, as you may expect, are extremely popular with the children of the neighbourhood.
Since 2011, he’s been asking visitors to help him raise money for charity – this year, for the second year in a row, White is fundraising for Dylan, a little boy with cerebral palsy who lives in the area.

In 2015, he collected over €1000 to go towards his care, and he’s hoping to raise a bit more this time around.
So if you’re in the Palmerstown area this Christmas, take a quick trip to 20 Palmers Grove, throw a few bob in the bucket, and keep the festive cheer going.
