How many Christmas trees Are In YOUR House???!!!

December 7th 2010 22:48
Christmas Tree
Alongside Christmas comes the tradition of putting up the Christmas tree, which for most households comprises of one large tree, or possibly 2 depending on the size and layout of your home, but in 2007, a Los Angeles resident amassed a collection of 26 upstanding Christmas trees throughout his home.
"Ahhh..." you are probably thinking to yourself, "Surely he must live in one of those rather expansive Los Angeles mansions..."but you'd be wrong. His collection of trees along with thousands of ornaments and other decorations were, and still are, as he continues this line of lunacy passion, to be found inside his meagre 2 bedroom home!
