POLES APART: Santa lives in the North Pole. Penguins hang out in the south. But that discrepancy means little when it comes to enthusiastic locals lighting up their houses for Christmas. Kade Richards is pictured enjoying the sights at 20 Elsdon Best Street — one of many houses taking the celebration of Christmas to a new level. Picture by Rebecca Grunwell

Santa will have no trouble finding the correct houses on one Gisborne street as it is lit up brighter than Rudolph’s nose. Elsdon Best Street has put down a marker for “the most Christmassy street” with numbers 20 and 13 going all in on the festive season. Kade Richards is pictured at 20 Elsdon Best Street — one of about 20 Christmas-friendly properties listed on the More FM Facebook Christmas Lights map, with others listed in the comments trail.
