Whitley Crescent in Abram hosted a light switch-on for the second year running.
The residents turn on thousands of twinkling Christmas illuminations hoping to raise as much as they can for Wigan and Leigh Hospice.
Much food and drink was on offer for the 50 locals who braved the cold to attend the event.

One of the residents, Stuart Howarth, said: ” This started out as a bit of fun and out doing the neighbours.
“Now there are six houses that take great joy in lighting up our little corner of Abram.

“Hopefully we can continue every year and keep raising money for worthwhile causes.”
The street won £100 in garden center vouchers, which they vow to put towards more lights.
While it is an incredible achievement to even be shortlisted against a ground-breaking number of other entries, residents are hoping to go a step further this year.
Stuart said: “It would be nice to try to get that, if not better again this year.”
