A Glasgow grandfather has lit up Blackhill with his stunning Santa's Grotto for all residents near and far to enjoy for the last 20 years.
Ian Clift has established himself as the official "giver of festive cheer" with his decorations becoming bigger and better over the last two decades.
It all started as a competition for his son when he was little and it has grown to now include a number of Christmas signs, snowmen, Santa's sleigh, an outdoor grotto and hundreds of lights.
This year is the first time the 59-year-old has installed a charity box beside his Christmas decorations as a way to raise some much needed funds for a cause close to his heart - Down Syndrome Scotland - for his grandson.

He told Glasgow Live: "I started putting the Christmas stuff up the day after Halloween because we do that in a big way as well.
"It maybe takes up to two hours at night after work to put the lights up. It started off as a competition for my son when he was three and I made a Christmas tree out of a bit of hardboard. He won first prize for that one then it sort of escalated and grew arms and legs."
"My grandson has Down Syndrome and you never really see fundraising for Down Syndrome charities.
"So we decided to raise some money for Down's Syndrome Scotland. We don't want people to think you have to make a donation because we know times are hard."
The lights are eye-catching and the residents of Blackhill have come to expect wonderful things from Ian's stunning decorations - some of which he makes from hand himself.
People from across Glasgow make their way to the neighbourhood each year to see the beautiful lights.
The lorry driver added: "My neighbours all love it. It seems to have picked up because there seems to more and more coming every year. It cheers the place up a little bit.
"We'll light them up on boxing day and then we'll start preparing for the new year."
Ian loves making the centrepieces of his displays with his hands but the cost of crafting materials has shot up.
However, the price hasn't dampened Ian's Christmas spirit.
The lorry driver said: "We used to make a lot of the stuff ourselves. Like the sleigh, the soldiers and the big candy canes, I made all of them myself but the price of timber has just went through the roof.
"A board that would usually cost me about £22 is now at £47. It kind of slowed me down a wee bit but I still like making my own."
