They then hold open house all through the season so everyone can come and see their trees. I always like to go and look but really, seven trees, in one house. Think of the clutter, think of the work, I stand in awe of such people, I stand in awe of Harry. Awww! Harry! <VBG> George >> I'm like you George I think of the work involved.I went to a house several years ago down by Springield IL where the lady puts decorated trees in every room of her house. She has an antique business next door to her home. In the front lawn she has a ferris wheel which you can see from interstate. My husband is an animal collector so of course he has many animal christmas decorations. We started out with just skunks but have now worked up to foxs, racoons,squirrels and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. He is a mail carrier and on his business route is the store called Wild Birds. They gave him an ornament that has a cat hanging from the birdfeeder looking for a 'treat'.LOL Kris P IL
