Meet the Leixlip family preparing to transform their home into a Christmas wonderland

Christmas is just 144 days away and preparations for the holiday are fully underway in one Leixlip home.

Aisling and Pat Carey transform their house into a winter wonderland every year for charity and have droves of visitors come and admire their lights each December. The couple live next to Pat's sister and brother-in-law, so the entire family work together to create the incredible display.

Last year the Careys raised over €10,000 for Bumbleance and Sienna's Steps. The couple have chosen Make A Wish as their charity partner for 2022 as they were a Wish family back in 2007 when their son Aaron got to meet the Liverpool football team. The pair are already flat out preparing for December's festivities. Many of their decorations are homemade by Pat and he has been working in the shed every evening after work creating new additions for this year's display.
