Riverside's Mission Inn hotel has transformed for the holidays. The elaborate Festival of Lights Christmas decorations are open now through the New Year.

Ramsgate is set to hold a free light festival over the Christmas period. Ramsgate Lumiere begins on 24 November and runs until 31 December. An opening event called, "Let There Be Light", will be held at St George's Church on 26 November when the Ramsgate town Christmas lights will be switched on.

It's that time of year when Riverside's Mission Inn becomes more magical. For 15 years, former Texas schoolteacher Kayla Morris put every dollar she could save into a home for her growing family. "I thought I was so mature."
