Extreme Christmas House – level 3

Extreme Christmas House

24-12-2018 07:00

One German couple pulled out all the stops in their Christmas decorations. From the outside, Thomas and Susanne Jeromin’s house looks normal with a few modest decorations.

On the inside, the house is filled to the rafters with over 100 Christmas trees crammed into 105 square metres of space. The trees are adorned in fairy lights, ornaments and around 16,000 baubles.

The couple had a small collection at first but it grew rapidly as time went on, making them local celebrities. It takes them 8 weeks to prepare for Christmas, as they start decorating in early October and fill every room except the bedroom. Even the bathroom has a Santa Claus toilet seat.

Difficult words: pull out all the stops (do a lot of work), fill to the rafters (fill something up completely), cram (put into a small space), adorn (decorate), bauble (a small decoration).
