Every Christmas there's always that one house you can't stop staring at on your way home.

From subtle silver tree baubles to fluorescent garden lights, whether you think they are stunning or scary, some homeowners can't help but compete for the most impressive-looking rooftop.

A South Ruislip pensioner has already laid down the gauntlet by hosting his own lights switch-on at his home in support of his wife who is battling cancer.

So, as we enter the festive period and see many families switch on their lights for Crimbo, don't forget to send us pictures of your trees, lights and decorations, as well as the best dressed homes you come across on your travels!
