Grandmother Sylvia Pope of Swansea, South Wales, decorates her home for the holidays. She uses a whopping 2,530 ornaments to cover her living room ceiling. Each year, she tops up ornaments, with 766 more this year than last year.

She told the ABC that she has no intention of stopping. “I’m off to Prague next week only for a couple days to go to a Christmas market to see if they have any nice ones. Hopefully I will bring home lots of new ones,” she said. “The time I went to New York on holiday I had to buy another bag just to bring them home. Oh my gosh, it was so fabulous!”

Each ornament is handpicked by the 73-year-old and her friends and carries its own story.

She starts decorating in mid-September and takes them down in March because, after all that hard work, it’s both hard to take down and silly as well!

One year, she left them the whole year because of foot surgery but they got really dusty!
