Christmas wouldn't feel like Christmas without decorating our homes, from decking the tree to putting up outdoor lights. Whilst many households use the same traditional decorations each year, others see the festive season as a time to get creative.

Some people spend weeks, even months, planning their themes ahead of December. They put their decorations up as early as November - as soon as Halloween has been and gone.

Whilst some households go all out for Christmas with money being no object, others opt for more affordable displays using budget-friendly DIY options to keep costs down.

Whatever your budget - these homeowners from across our region know exactly how to do it. Here is some of the best Christmas decor we've spotted from properties in and around Greater Manchester this year - from daring dinosaurs and disco baubles to The Holiday-inspired theme.
