Christmas Lights for Charity

by Domestik Goddess on November 23, 2005

If you plan to “bling up” your own home for the holidays, why not do it for a good cause?

Turn your home into a whacky, eye-catching fairy lights display and help brighten someone’s Christmas!

Houseblinger.com describes itself as a free showcase for those amazing people who decorate (well, overdecorate) the exteriors of their houses at Christmas with lights. Some do it for charity, some for fun, or both. Whatever, houseblinging is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored, and Houseblinger is pleased to celebrate it in a charitable way:

Light up your HomeWe are particularly pleased to announce that we are teaming up with Marie Curie Cancer Care to help promote their Light up your Home campaign. We know that many houseblingers do fantastic work for charities and this year we’ll be adding some features to the site specifically to support this.

Take part in this year’s Christmas Appeal by creating a seasonal fundraising attraction. While adorning your home with garlands of fairy lights and eye catching displays, encourage admirers to make a donation.

Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice to die at home supported by their families. Last Christmas, Marie Curie Nurses provided 327 shifts of care from Christmas Eve to boxing day, allowing more people to spend time at home with their families.

You can join the “Light Up Your Home campaign” at www.mariecurie.org.uk — or, link your own neighbourhood’s decorating efforts to a favourite local charity working to improve the holiday season for those less fortunate.
