I make this same special trip also just for this house.
But I think I will take in the one in Portugal Cove too. This is amazing and it does lightened my heart everytime I see well decorated homes. -

Great Job! I know I always looked forward to seeing the O'Reilly's lights every year and now my kids get to enjoy them too. Thank you to Mr. O'Reilly for doing this every year! It is a beautiful tradition!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the owners of this beautiful home. This picture would make an excellent Christmas card. Thanks to the family for keeping the spirit alive; more people should be doing it; especially if they have the finances; regardless of the powerbill; it is only once a year.

I personally love this house, many people go to see it each year and I am glad to say that it is my grandparents! They work extremly hard on decorating their house so that it is a plessure to all! This house has been decorated for as long as I can remember and i'm sure it will stay that way for many! Have a Merry Christmas =)

This is the O'Reilly's house on the main road. They have decorated their home like this for as long as I can remember. This is one of my favorite indicators that Christmas is near. My children now get excited when the O'Reilly's lights go on each year. Thanks to the O'Relly's and others like them for creating Xmas memories for lots of families.

Very nice! Well done! A lot of work must have gone into this.
There is also a beautiful house in Portugal Cove, right on the main highway people should see. Gee, it may even have more lights than this one pictured! The front AND back yards are decorated also!
Thank you to all the wonderful people that go through the trouble and energy to decorate their homes so that people like me can enjoy the beauty. Merry Christmas to all! -

May God Love them, they certainly know how to celebrate the season! Can you imagine the joy that they bring to the children, who approach the magnificence of what these people put forth! Again, I say God love them! And by the way Girt, you don't have to pay the electric bill! Bah Humbug to you!
