© Licensed to London News Pictures. 01/12/2015. Bristol, UK.  The Brailsford family's Christmas Lights Big Switch On. Brothers Lee and Paul Brailsford have spent 20 years and more than £20,000 building up their huge collection of festive decorations in Bentry, Bristol to turn the home of their mother Rosemary into a winter wonderland every year. They have tens of thousands of lights, a life-size nativity, trains, snowmen, toy soldiers, reindeers, Santas and a snow machine. They raise money from people who flock to see the spectacle and to date they have raised more than £30,000 for charities such as the Wallace and Gromit Appeal that supports Bristol Children's Hospital.  The electricity and replacement lights cost around £1,000 each year, but this year the brothers are trying to convert everything to LED lights to be more efficient for Bristol's year as European Green capital 2015.
