When a visitor asks nine-year-old Kamryn Mussato how long her family has been putting up Christmas lights on their Aldergrove home, she cheerfully replies that it鈥檚 as been long as she can remember.

Her mother, Jenn estimates they鈥檝e been putting up ever-more-elaborate displays for about 17 years outside the house at

This year, the new additions include a deer made of sparkling lights, and giant candy canes made from PVC pipe by dad Matt Simpson.
Among the older decorations are two elves, who go up on both Halloween and Christmas, changing their outfits to match the season.
There is also an animatronic Santa, who sings and dances.
And lights. Lots and lot of lights, everywhere.
In fact, when a neighbour recently discovered a giant 鈥淢erry Christmas鈥� sign made of lights and suggested they should get it, Jenna had to tell them they didn鈥檛 have room for it.
As a result, the neighbour鈥檚 house just down the street now sports a giant sign, all lit up.
The light display will be on view from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. every night till Christmas.
On weekends, there will be a box for donations to the 91原创 Food Bank.
