BIG-hearted Kim Henderson is determined to light up people's lives this Christmas - starting tonight.
The mother-of-one has filled her front and rear gardens in Juniper Grove, Marton, Middlesbrough, with Yuletide figures, plus silhouettes, lights and displays. A local firm has donated a sound system.
Father Christmas, in the shape of her dad, 62-year-old Barry Nolan, will have gifts for children and there are collection buckets for Teesside Hospice and Care for Bereaved Parents.
The hospice needs about £2,600 to be raised each day.
Mrs Henderson said: "It's in a good cause and I just want to raise as much money as possible.''
* Teesside Hospice holds a Christmas craft fair at Marton Hotel and Country Club on November 7, between 11am and 4pm.
