Christmas light tour – share the magic
It is that time of the year again, when residents start planning to decorate their homes and gardens for Christmas.
This means it is also time for residents to plan their Christmas light tours during the festive season, when they can view the lights on display and share in the Christmas magic.
If you are going to decorate this year we want to hear from you. Please forward your address, as well as the dates and times the lights will be switched on, to cvdwalt@caxton.co.za by no later than 10:00 on Thursday.
