This home near Toronto is spreading holiday cheer with over 100K Christmas lights Ontario Christmas
at 113 McCraney St W owned by the Jackson family not only spreads Christmas cheer in their neighbourhood with a whopping 100,000+ lights; they're also giving back to their community.
Don Jackson's love for Christmas started when he was a young boy, decorating his childhood home with his dad."It was a chance to connect with him. From there I just kind of got the bug," he says.Fast forward 40+ years to today where Don, his wife Deb, and three children Tanner, Courtney, and Emma work hard year after year to put up one of the most elaborate light shows in the city.The task is no easy feat, however.
An undertaking of this extent takes a small army to pull off. Don says,"the whole family kicks in to help out. We start on Thanksgiving, with many friends and family pitching in to help." As a thank you, Deb cooks a big Thanksgiving dinner for everyone.The show runs annually from the last Friday in November through the first Sunday in January. Anyone visiting can listen to the light co-ordinated songs transmitting through radio at 90.5 FM.
The Jackson family is also big on giving back to those that need it. Since they started collecting for local charities in 2014, they have donated all proceeds, which total close to $25,000 and over 8000 lbs of food.
