Entertainer and events organiser Paul Toole started decorating his house with Christmas lights 13 years ago. Now people come from across Somerset, England to see his home. Each year Paul uses more than 40,000 lights to create a computer-controlled show that lasts 20 minutes. The decorations include a Ferris wheel, giant baubles and a 20ft-tall tree made of solid lights. Paul often flies to America to replenish his stock, spending £15,000 [US$23,500] on his Christmas display in the last few years. Some local residents object, but given that Paul raised £2000 for charity last year, it's all in a good cause. From:
