And even if there will not be a big ignition event this year due to Covid, the couple did everything to get into the festive spirit.
Illuminated snowmen and Santas can be seen at the front of the house while a row of illuminated Christmas trees greets guests to the side.
Stars, bells, and jingle balls are also featured prominently in the display, which Helen and John briefly lit for an early turn on.
Helen said: âNot all of them are ready but we have started and it is definitely a work in progress.
“Like last year, when we think we’re ready, we’ll just turn them on – it’ll probably be around mid-November.”
Their 2020 exhibition raised £ 12,895.57 last year – more than double the previous year’s total – for three charities close to the couple’s hearts.
The money was distributed among three charities that helped their grandson: East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Dreamflight, who take a group of children to Disneyland every year.
It is hoped that this year’s holiday season will be more relaxed than that of last year, when Christmas lights were turned off across the country.
A father was threatened with a £ 10,000 coronavirus fine by cops last year – for decorating his house with festive lights.
It came as large gatherings were banned during the winter, with families only able to form a Christmas bubble between three households from December 23 to 27.
Boris Johnson said this week: “I think Christmas this year will be a lot better than last year.”
