the festive mood these holidays.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Doreen has opened her home to the public every year, for the past 30 years, and families can come along and delight in the wonderful Christmas displays, as well as being treated to special Christmas stories.<\/p>\n<p>She started the tradition all those years ago with her husband, Des (who passed away four years ago at the age of 81).<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe have always liked Christmas and love children,\u201d Doreen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDes had a great passion for anything to do with Christmas and we started collecting the Christmas ornaments 30 years ago, on our overseas trips.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of them come from overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Christmas House fun\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"

days there is not really much for them to see Christmas-wise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people decorate their houses outside for people to view, but I think we were one of the few couples who opened up our home,\u201d Doreen said.<\/p>\n<p>The couple, who did not have any children of their own, was married in the Malvern Catholic Church in 1953 and had been married for 60 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the old days we would arrange for the fire department to take the children for a ride on the fire engine and we would have queues of people waiting to get into the house,\u201d Doreen said.<\/p>\n<p>These days, as she battles to manage on her own, she has many people who help her to set up the displays and run the house while it is open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>They are: Theresa, Kevin, Richard and Melissa Lewarne; Allan, Jheanne, Caitlyn, Chan\u00e9 and Steven de Rijk; Noel Henry; Chris Reed; Willem van den Berg; Carl Staughton; Audrey Gibbs; Emma Walland; Johnny Constantinescu; Patrick, Jenny, Alexandra and Samantha Mundell; Harley Borrowdale; Fortune Mbambo and Jean-Marie Ayingineye.<\/p>\n<p>The house is situated at 3 Mullins Road, Malvern East, and is open to the public from 7pm to 9pm daily, until December 24.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting families can also make a monetary donation, which will be given to charity.<\/p>\n<p>Last year R13 000 was donated to charity.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-108144 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a
