Nanaimo 2012 Christmas Lights Contest

---

Spirit of Christmas Decorating Contest

The results of this years residential Christmas Decorating Contest are in and the displays are absolutely spectacular. Nanaimo residents have really outdone themselves once again.

The annual event is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and Laird Wheaton who supplies fuel and transportation for the judges who this year actually had winter-like driving conditions as they made their rounds on Monday night.

The judging is done by 6 volunteers headed by Marilyn Sullivan who has been judging the Christmas lights for 25 years now. Kudos to Marilyn and the other volunteers who make this contest possible.

So over the Christmas season, fill up the thermos with hot chocolate, program the GPS and set off for a night of ooowing and awwwwing as you discover this year's winning displays.
