Picture: Santa can't miss it

A home lit by so many Christmas lights it is visible from planes flying into Christchurch Airport has won a $5000 prize.

The Anderson family's Kaiapoi home beat 700 rivals in The Warehouse-sponsored "Light up your Home" competition.

Their Christmas display includes 38,000 lights, a Santa head-first in a fake chimney and a jack-in-the-box, and it took two weeks to put together.
