The Bristol family in a yearly race to put Christmas decorations up early

A Bristol family who is often in a yearly race put their Christmas decorations up early, has not failed to uphold family tradition.

Mother of one Lisa-Marie Hodges, who lives in Lawrence Weston, said since having her own home she has been in competition with her relatives to see who can get their home festive-ready the quickest.

"It is just for a bit of family fun but every year I always win," she said.

The 30-year-old said her neighbours are often left intrigued with many inspired to do the same.

She said her son loves to help her transform their home especially this time of year.

This 13-year tradition doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon, as the family is already thinking about next year's challenge.

For now, they take great pleasure in checking out other peoples home decorations on nearby streets and even taking pictures to mark the celebratory occasion.
