A Christmas-loving couple say they have “too many” decorations to count covering their east Cambridgeshire home in a bid to raise charity cash.
Each year, Helen and John Attlesey decorate their house in Soham to raise money for charities which helped their grandson recover from epilepsy.
The house has received recognition from the nation’s press, with articles being published in the Daily Mail newspaper and photographs posted via This Morning.
Mrs Attlesey said: “We started with a few lights nine years ago and every year we’ve added more and more.
“People come from all over to admire the display, they love it;it makes them happy, it’s really become a tradition.

For the first-time ever Premier Inn has created a master key to every single one of its hotels across the UK for the exclusive use of Father Christmas delivering presents on December 24.
The VIP keycard has been created in response to questions from guests who are keen to understand if Father Christmas can deliver presents to its rooms – which do not have fireplaces to allow for traditional chimney access.
In fact, following the news that Santa is exempt from travel restrictions thanks to magical powers which keep him safe, the hotel company has been snowed under with the question from guests up and down the country.

Guide Dogs is no different to other charities in needing to make better use of its donor data. But it also provides the service for which it mainly raises funds in the first place: dogs guiding blind or visually impaired humans.

McGovern wants to move the charity from an individual view and practice of data management and analytics to an organisational one.
