The home, located just off the Oshawa Road, has been attracting car loads of holiday sightseers for the past three years, much to the owners' delight. Mrs. Reid and her moth- er Mrs. Notman began buying Christmas orna- ments at auctions several years ago and began add- Ing more lights outside their home each year. "We have fun doing it and now people expect it every year. We do it for our enjoyment as well as oth- ers. It's nice to go out and talk with the people," said Mrs. Reid.
