THE CHRISTMAS SEASON is upon us and towns the length and breadth of the country have decked themselves out in sparkles. Giant Christmas trees have been erected and fairy lights are strewn across every available surface.

The result? Everywhere just looks a bit more magic.

Let’s take a gander at some of the best light displays around the country, shall we?

Dublin’s Henry Street has been wrapped in a glittering red bow for the month that’s in it.

The most Christmassy house in Dublin is back at it again this year.

William Tilly from Bath Avenue, Sandyford, decorates his house every year and raises money for Our Lady’s Hospice in Harold’s Cross.

Cork is looking only fabulous this year.

The Apple Market in Waterford is nothing short of a winter wonderland.

The trees in People’s Park in Dún Laoghaire have undergone a Christmas makeover. It’s the little touches…

Longford is looking all twinkly.

While Ennis is as pretty as a Christmas card.

Every year, Tony Fitzpatrick and his family light up their house in Drinagh, Co. Wexford to raise funds for charity. As you can see, it’s pretty spectacular.

This house in Tallaght is certainly getting in the Christmas spirit.
