If Santa took a trip in his sleigh down to the north end of Oamaru, he might be surprised by what he could find.

If he was looking for festive inflatables, multiple Christmas trees, reindeer, lights and decorations, then Santa would be in luck.

Tucked away in Arundel St, the Bryant family is providing Christmas cheer for the rest of their community with their brightly decorated home.

Inflatables including a giant Santa taller than their home, lines of mini Christmas trees and brightly lit Merry Christmas signs dotted the lawn.

Owner Daniel Bryant said the reaction from the Oamaru community was fantastic.

"It’s been a pretty good response. There’s been lots of kids stopping to have a look over the fence and people stopping by."

Decorating their home began two years ago, when his family found several Christmas inflatables for sale online.

They now they had 30 inflatables which packed his garage year round.

While he would not be buying any more, the joy his children got from decorating their lawn was priceless.

"It was led by the kids, really."

The decorations had been up for a week and would be taken down on Boxing Day.
