Multiple properties have put together unique displays featuring Santa Claus.
Bridle Track resident Sharon Shelton said the idea came from a resident of Duramana Road and many have embraced it.
"A lady on Duramana Road, Wendy Fraser, she's the one who initiated it; she sent a letter around to people on Duramana Road," she said.
"A few people put Santas out and there seems to be more popping up every day."
Ms Shelton said the initiative was bringing a lot of joy.
"I think it is really good for the community at this time of year ... everyone is doing it tough," she said. "Just having them on the fences gives them a bit of a smile and a laugh."
The displays have also inspired Ms Shelton to write a poem, encouraging people to see the creativity, "take your time and enjoy a smile".
Read her full poem below:
Christmas time is nearly here,
Bring the family for some cheer.
Come for a drive, past Eglinton way,
To see the many roadside Santas during the day.
*
Along Duramana Rd there's lots to see,
Then turn left at the Bridle Track, more for you and me!
There's Santa, Mrs Claus, cowboys and more,
Sitting, hanging, riding....stop for a photo that's for sure!
*
Take your time and enjoy a smile,
At the antics of Santa, you'll remember for a while.
Merry Christmas to all, let's bring good cheer,
To everyone around this time of the year!
