Craig Hughes has a 30-year love affair with Christmas. It has consumed hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. He wouldn't have it any other way. Circumstance has meant his award-winning Christmas light display at Cuthbert Drive, Mount Warrigal, has been kept in storage for two years. But festive fun-lovers, he has two words to share: "We're back". Thanks to two months of dedicated work, a few friends, the tens of thousands of lights that make up his seasonal spectacular are up and switched on. But it won't be until Friday that Craig will be happy with the presentation. "There's some tweaking that needs to be done," he said on Tuesday. Back in 1993 Craig was motivated to share some light as his dad had been diagnosed with cancer. His mum Joyce was a spritely 80. Craig now cares for his now 95-year-old mum 24/7. The lights, he said, have provided him with a creative outlet and a tradition to continue. "I was a teacher so I do love the opportunity to catch up with former students. "And it's not just them sometimes they now have kids of their own," the 62-year-old said. What he enjoys most is reacquainting himself with the generations. "I love it when the kids who were once so cynical have turned into grandparents. They have a completely different attitude," he chortled. And while the Mount Warrigal favourite is back on the Christmas lights circuit, a longtime favourite has dropped off the list. For the past 30 year, the Sanders family has shared their seasonal spectacular in the Mangerton front yard. This year Steven and Joy will take their final bow - but not before Santa makes an appearance (sometime close to Christmas Eve - hint, hint). But let's look at the streets where you can soak in the seasonal spirit - from the comfort of your car. There are some familiar streets on the list and quite a number of festive neighbourhoods banding together for a multi-house experience. From Stream Hill to Dapto, Albion Park, Horsley and Kanahooka, there's dozens of displays to enjoy. We'll keep updating the list as more appear. 12 Brian St 61 Forestview Way 4 Alfred Cres 5 Alfred Cres 6 Alfred Cres 16 Saltwater Cct 8 Esperance Dr 82 Yellow Rock Rd 12 Howell Ave 57 Byamee St 12 Howell Ave 82 Yellow Rock Rd 5 Dickson Ave 67 Bodalla St 75 Bodalla St 77 Bodalla St 68 Keira St 16 Saltwater Cct 27 Bambil Cres 9 Cox Parade 8 Kookaburra Pl 16 Cox Parade 17 Hardwick Cres 16 Hickory St 48 Robins Creek Dr 50 Robins Creek Dr 49 Robins Creek Dr 50 Cumberland St 6 Cuthbert Dr 8 Goolana St 3 Waratah Ave 14 Violet Bvd 9 Oak St 3 She Oak Pl 77 Bodalla St Rosina Street 10 Rosina St 67 Edgeworth Ave 54 Emerson Rd Saint James Crescent 2 Ocean St 28A Stewards Dr Garden Avenue 70 Devonshire Cres 18 Mountain Ash St 4 Collie Way 57 Nannawilli St 19 Meander Dr 4 Horseshoe Cct 11 St James Cres 1 Kauri St 17 Brooks Reach Rd 66 Henricks Parade 19 Flannery Dr 15 Flannery Dr unit 1/4 Central Ave 10 Pleasant Ave 25 Kauri St 4 Stubbs Rd 6 Stubbs Rd 8 Stubbs Rd 10 Stubbs Rd 12 Stubbs Rd 14 Stubbs Rd 20 Stubbs Rd 18 Stubbs Rd 16 Stubbs Rd 20 Scobie Cres 3 Pass Ave 52 Edgar St 24 Meander Dr 19 John St 8 Edgeworth Ave 241 Princes Hwy 13 Boxwood Ave 596 Northcliffe Dr 2 Wentworth St 9 Caloola Ave 4 Goodbury Ave Emila Road 10 Phillips Cres 31 Chounding Cres 17 Noble Rd 11 Tully Cres 10 Tully Cres 101 Bong Bong Rd 43 Mallon Ave 31 College Ave 13 Broughton Ave Mountbatten Street 22 Saddleback Cr 21 Saddleback Cr 19 Saddleback Cr 85 Laver Rd 81 Laver Rd 83 Laver Rd 25 Hogan Ave 21 Brotheridge Ave 13 Smith Ave Pony Drive 25A Whistlers Run 7 Cowal Ct 6 Welmont Pl 15 Siltstone Ave 5 Fowlers Rd 26 Denniss St 10 Malua St 23 Poplar Ave Silverwood Place 30 Preston St 7 Ribbonwood Pl 43 Bottlebrush Dr 40 Robins Creek Dr Timberi Avenue Silverwood Place 26 Cross St 84 Campbell St 14 Saltwater Cct 15 Tyrrel St Tomerong Street
