Osgoode home places close second in 'Best Christmas lights' contest

Posted Jan 5, 2012 By Dosi Cotroneo

EMC News - Many a passer-by could not help but notice the spectacular Christmas light display created by Matt and Tracey Nesrallah at their home on Main Street Osgoode.

Boasting 6,992 lights, five inflatables, a 12-foot Christmas tree of light on top of the house and Clark Griswold himself hanging by lights, it's no surprise that the Nesrallah's home is Osgoode's favourite Christmas house.

All of this energy and effort was put out by the Nesrallahs this year for a good reason -the Y101 Country FM and Warmth Insulation Christmas Lights Contest.

The house that received the most votes online during the week leading up to Christmas would win the grand prize of $500 to be donated to their favorite charity.

The Nesrallah's chose the Osgoode Youth Association (O-YA).

As families enjoy driving through neighbourhoods all over the city to take in all of the beautiful Christmas decorations over the holiday season, Y101 and Warmth

Insulation wanted to encourage residents to get out there and share their holiday warmth with their neighbours and the community by showcasing their homes in their Christmas Lights Contest.

Once the last vote was cast and the numbers were tallied, the Nesrallahs learned that they placed an incredibly close second.
