The impressive Christmas decoration in a house in Xàbia that draws the attention of the most curious

20 December 2021 - 10: 59

At the foot of Montgó, on the road to Cap de Sant Antoni where there are several residential complexes of chalets, one stands out above all the others at sunset. The house with the most impressive and striking amount of Christmas lights in the area.

The house belongs to José Marcos Gil, a native of Xàbia, and Celeste Solares, from the Philippines. For a few years, José Marcos has been fond of making a great display of Christmas decorations capable of dazzling anyone. He started long ago with the assembly of the traditional nativity scene in his garage, although the tradition this year has gone much further.

After donating the material of the nativity scene, two years ago, the family decided to decorate the entire house in a big way, although they have reached the maximum spectacularity this year. The initiative was the idea of ​​José Marcos, who decided to pay tribute to Celeste's roots, since in the Philippines it is very traditional to make decorations as impressive as this one.

Together with his son, Alejandro Gil, and from the end of October until relatively recently, every afternoon, when free time allowed, they have been decorating the exterior of the house. They have taken about a month to do this and have used about 20.000 light bulbs for it.

Although the house is not officially open to the public, the family does not hesitate to welcome the curious who come to observe its great work. Word of mouth, above all, has made them visit various groups of people last weekend, both from the Xàbia area and from Gandia or València.

    It seems fatal to me that Chulvi is not sucking the camera.

    I am very surprised that Chulvi did not get close to that family, any pretext would have been valid, like:
    »The City Council promotes the Christmas decoration»
    »Far from political confrontations for the unity of light»

    I said, I wonder that there was no "deal" with this family

    But surely in a few days we will see Chulvi in ​​photos, whatever bullshit comes to mind ...

    Impressive yes it is yes. Minimalism is not his thing.

    Well, what do you want me to tell you ... for tastes, the colors (pun intended). It looks like the "houses of lights" on the road to me.

    See if they are the lights that Arenal is missing, I already knew something was wrong.
    They want to compete with the Mayor of Vigo that the lights are seen throughout space and beyond.

    Very nice family.

    Looking for Chulvi in ​​the lights, like looking for Wally

    I'm leaving

    Isn't the Chulvi there in the photo? The same is there and is not distinguished by the mask. If not, I think it is a good occasion to tighten your jacket and pose, if so much bright and blinding light does not detract from it.

    I don't know, maybe he has already decided to pose next to one of our world attractions: "The fire that does not cease." Or he's in the sewer posing next to "The Overflowing Shit."

    Work accumulates, but this should not escape you.
