Senga and William Morris have been putting up their amazing Christmas decorations for the last eight years and it is rapidly become a local, must-see festive sight.

After the couple’s daughter Nicole gave birth to their granddaughter Freya in 2012, Senga (58) and William (62) wanted to make Christmas an extra special time for the family.

Nicole and husband Scott helped the couple put up the decorations at the back of their Wallace Street home during the first couple of years, but as the number of decorations grew, they started to creep around to the front of the house and draw the admiring gaze of neighbours and passers-by.

Nicole said: “I posted a video of the decorations all lit up at night on Facebook and have already had over 600 comments on the post. Everyone loves them and think they’re beautiful.

“It makes my mum and dad happy knowing they’re bringing a little cheer to everyone, especially the wee ones. After everything that has happened this year, my parents just wanted to bring a little happiness back.

“After losing my granddad on November 8, putting the decorations up certainly helped us cope and brought a smile to our faces.”
