RESIDENTS are getting into the festive spirit earlier than normal - with many beautifully decorated homes popping up across the town.
Willowbrook Hospice, which has been struggling during the pandemic, is asking the community to decorate their homes for Christmas and donate to their fundraising page if they are able to do so.
And plenty of people have decided to put up their lights early to back the campaign and lift some of the gloom surrounding lockdown.
If you have decorated your home for Christmas already share your pictures with us below.

We live in Garswood and decided to decorate our house more earlier and even more extra than normal this year. Covid has stopped us doing a lot of things but it can’t stop us celebrating Christmas
