While the Dads lifted the tree...

The kids were up a tree, someone was stacking tape, someone was spraying a swirl and the tunnel was getting its lights. All in one Saturday.

See the tree and the tunnel lit from Tuesday 1 December at 26 Nicholson Ave, St Ives, 7pm to 11:30pm.

Meet the family behind the lights Job titles are self-appointed.

Chief driller. Head of heights. Lights department. Quality control. Garden crew. And the boss, who has approved nothing and supervised everything.

Who's head of heights in your house?

Opens Tuesday 1 December, 26 Nicholson Ave, St Ives.

Is October too early? Asking for a friend. (The friend is me. The tree is already up.)

Team October or Team December? 🎄

Wait for the peel.

How to make a candy cane: tape, spray paint and patience, then a lot of ping pong balls, and one very patient candy cane. This is the most satisfying part of building a Christmas display, and the sound is real.

Send this to someone who peels tape for fun.

Our Mega Tree has never seen a forest.

The base is a trampoline frame we got for free off Marketplace. The lights go up on a home-made pulley system. And every year the local Dads turn up to lend a hand (and a lot of muscle) to get it standing. Possibly the only Christmas tree that needs a team of Dads, and we couldn't love it more.

Tag a Dad with muscles.

2 months until Christmas, and 37 days until the lights open in St Ives.

This weekend a pole became a tree. Follow along for the countdown to the 2026 display at 26 Nicholson Ave, St Ives. Open 1 to 31 December, 7pm to 11:30pm. The lit display at the start is from last year while this year's goes up.

You asked how the driveway arch goes up.

Here's the bare frame, before a single light goes on. We built it once and built it right: no repainting, and every piece is numbered, so it goes back together the same way every year.

What it's made of: six 3m lengths of 40mm PVC pipe with a little black spray paint. Two lengths are cut into 1.5m pieces for the legs, the long lengths make the arch, and 55cm lengths of PVC join the two arches together. There's a connector for every length, and 12mm rebar stakes go about 30cm into the ground.

The stakes only take about 5 minutes (if your ground isn't too hard!), then the frame goes up in under 20 minutes.

Got a build question? Drop it below.
