Mersey Christmas Lights

Mersey Christmas Lights Each year in December, we light up our house at 55 Mersey St, Box Hill North. Come and share the fun

As part of our show, we run a fundraiser for Safe Steps Family Violence response centre, for those who need help to be safe this Christmas. Closer to Christmas, we'll try to work out a donation link from this page.

From our family to yours Merry Christmas. Mersey Christmas Lights will be running tonight and Christmas night until 11:30. And these will be our final two nights, ever. So if you’d like to come down for one last look, you’ll be very welcome. If you’ve always meant to stop by but never made it, this is your last chance. If you’d like to say thank you, we would welcome donations to our for Safe Steps fundraiser, which we have run every year and raised around $1000. It’s been a blast, but all good things must come to an end. Thank you all for coming to be a part of it - the joy on your faces has been what has made the effort of creating the show worthwhile.

It’s nearly Christmas - and time to switch to your greatest hits. From tonight, you’ll find a longer jukebox list based on what you have listened to most. And we’ve snuck in one last minute addition. Enjoy!

Christmas is nearly here. It’s been a long and challenging start to the season but we are running smoothly now, and on every night until Christmas. How to make gravy was a new addition to the show this year, and tonight is its night. Hello Dan …

Me: “This Christmas light show will be fun!”
Night 1: undervoltage consequences, corrupted files, software bugs, updates failing spectacularly.
Night 2: sorting through the wreckage — missing permissions, broken GPIO, deprecated commands, confused relays and software that woke up and chose violence.
At this point I’ve debugged more than the developers 😂
BUT… it’s behaving now! Apologies to those who came by tonight and got lights but no sound.
Pray for tomorrow’s reboot and Rudolph’s nose should finally work as planned 🙏🎄✨

We have lights! Thank you to everyone who came past, and loved watching you enjoy the music. Major electronics failure 15 minutes before the start but patched a temporary fix and you’d never know. Tools out tomorrow to do it properly. We’re live now every night until

2 weeks until light up, the pressure is on, and the weather isn’t helping. The big garage matrix and worked first go, but the deer on the roof have not stayed fixed, the front fence arches have died, and sound has stopped working.

Just keep plugging away …
Loving the comments from passing neighbours though. Thank you for the encouragement and appreciation!
