Anyone in NW Sydney, check out 7 Mallee St, Quakers Hill. Guy has been doing it for years, and Police used to shut the road as tour coaches would head there.
Last time I saw it he had a train gogin around the roof and lower storys of house.

Sinister Santa is around, but due to smoke it's impossible to get a good photo of a night currently.
I think a few things have killed christmas light displays:
1. Solar lights - You'd buy them one year and the next they'd be shagged and not work. I tossed all mine out.
2. Old replacable bulb lights - Nobody uses them anymore.
3. LEDs that are stupidly expensive/overpriced. Set of 400 Greens I recently bought (which are hard to find mind you), $49 a box on special and normally $89. Or this other decoration I picked up for $49 on special and normally $120. People just don't have the money with lower wages and higher costs of living these days.
I do it because it's kinda tradition. For as long as I can remember my parents (and even our grandparents) used to light up our places, and I'd help out. Then when I moved on I thought "why not continue spreading that christmas cheer". At our new place the house lends itself to some decent christmas lights potential too. Still an absolute heap more I could do to it, but you have to draw a line somewhere.
