There's a teenage boy in Sydney named Josh who absolutely loves Christmas. Every year, as soon as December rolls around, he goes all out and transforms his family's home into a winter wonderland. But what makes this even more impressive is that Josh, who is only 16, has spent close to $5000 of his own pocket money on lights and decorations to make his vision come to life.
According to Josh, he had a clear idea in his mind of how he wanted the display to look, so he saved up some money and did odd jobs around the house to fund his trips to Bunnings and Christmas shops. But once he started working at Coles, he was able to really step up his game and upgrade the display even more.
His mom, Leanne, couldn't be prouder of her son. She revealed that he does all the work himself, despite having two part-time jobs and going to school. He spends his evenings and spare time setting everything up, and even takes the time to neatly put everything away after the holiday season is over. It's a labor of love for Josh, and he's been doing it for the past four years.
But this year, there's an even more special reason behind Josh's elaborate Christmas display. He's partnered with the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation to raise money for their 'Lights For Kids' campaign. He set up a QR code outside his home for people to donate, and is hoping to raise as much as he can for sick children.
The hospital reached out to Josh a couple of weeks ago, and he was more than happy to help. He's spent over a month putting up all the lights and decorations, and is expecting a big turnout of festive revellers to come and take in the magical display. In previous years, his decorations have been a huge hit in the neighbourhood, with hundreds of people showing up on Christmas Eve to admire the lights and spread holiday cheer.
