Spotted this house on a drive one day, and could not resist returning to take a photo. Not sure if the owner is getting an early start for 2016, or is a tad late taking the decorations down. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag104/Birdwatcher15/SXM%202016/DSC_1780_zpsyaegi4in.jpg)

That's the house beside friars bay road just as you are heading to Marigot. Those people do the entire house inside & out. You can tour the house from about November 20ish to January 15th. You should have seen it before when it was lit!! someone named Monique & now a group is helping I believe. They accept donations to help with costs. Its in one of the island books in some rooms in St martin. It was stunning!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Me thinks a tad late. I have neighbors that never take them down. If they do it's late spring.

Saw that last half of January. Also noticed many displays still up, and it became a "thing" with our group.

WE saw it in Nov/Dec. I think they leave it up as long as folks still drop by to look and leave a donation. It is very pretty when it is all lit up. The cars were lining the roadside to go in for a visit when we were there.

Thanks for all the info on the house. I've never noticed it before driving that road. Would love to see it lit up.

Makes the decorated homes on Long Island look pale in comparison!

Thanks so much for posting that video link! We've never stopped, but always admired the lights from the road.
