Rudolph’s Light Scout is back!
More routes added for everyone’s enjoyment
There is no better way to celebrate the magic of Christmas than going for a drive in the neighbourhood looking for houses decorated with colourful Christmas lights.
Most of us still remember the time when the Johannesburg central business district (CBD) was decorated with beautiful lights in the spirit of Christmas. Everyone – young and old – was very excited to take a trip to see the light displays, and the excursion was probably one of the best things to do during this time of the year.
Unfortunately, this practice has become a thing of the past. However, the tradition is making a comeback through homeowners who want to bring back the joy and excitement of Christmas. These people spend a lot of time decorating their houses and gardens with amazing Christmas displays, ensuring the Christmas spirit is kept alive.
“We at Homescout have decided, given the success of Rudolph’s Light Scout 2016, to bring the beloved Christmas Light routes back with a bang.
Rudolph’s Light Scout 2017 will see more lit-up homes added to our routes as well as more routes in more areas added to our systems for you, your family and friends to enjoy, free of charge of course,” said Leigh Smith.
And, in an effort to make the whole experience that much more enjoyable, there will also be a competition with fabulous prizes to be won by both the home decorator and the light scouters. “Our draw will take place on 27 December and winners will be announced on our Facebook page (@homescouthq),” Leigh said.
“How do I enter?” you ask. Well, it’s very easy – just follow these steps:
• If you are one of those special people who decorate your home for Christmas, visit https://www.rudolphslightscout.co.za/upload-houses.html and add your home to the routes. This way, the public can swing by and have look at your display. “If it tickles their fancy, they will be able to vote for your home on the website, which will place you in the running for the grand prize of a R1 000 CPS Warehouse Gift Voucher,” said Leigh.
• If you and your family can be classified as light scouters always on the lookout for those special houses to visit, it’s now easier than ever to plan your outing. Just visit www.rudolphslightscout.co.za, choose from a variety of reindeer routes, grab some snacks and let the light scouting begin.” As a light scouter, you will be able to vote for your favourite Christmas displays and you will then automatically be entered into our competition draw to win a black Lenovo TAB 3
Essential 7”, 8GB, WiFi Tablet,” he said.
So, don’t wait any longer, head on over to the website, choose a route and keep the spirit of Christmas alive and well.
