Christmas is almost here. In just over a week, Santa Claus will visit our homes, and it’s important to have the Christmas tree ready and decorated for the occasion. If you haven’t set up your tree yet, there’s still time to get it done.

That’s certainly not a problem for Susanne and Thomas Jeromin, a German couple who just broke the world record for the most decorated Christmas trees in a single house—no less than 605 trees!

The first question is obvious: Do this adorable German couple live in a pine forest? Surprisingly, no—and that’s what makes their record even more impressive. All 605 trees are indoors, spread throughout their 1,940-square-foot home.

The logistics behind the record

To fit 605 trees into their home, they use every possible space. However, there are two rooms where no Christmas decorations are set up: their bedroom and their daughter’s bedroom. Every other part of the house, even the bathroom, would leave Santa Claus himself in awe.

For the decorations, they’ve used 120,000 ornaments, 50,000 lights, and thousands of Christmas figurines. “There’s always a room somewhere, or a place, or a corner, or ceilings, or walls,” Susanne Jeromin told Reuters.

This is the sixth time the family has broken their own record. In 2023, they set up 555 trees, 444 the year before, and 230 the year before that. Thomas Jeromin told Reuters that his passion for Christmas decorating is “relaxing.”

If Santa Claus has to leave a gift under each tree, he might need to take a few days off for exhaustion afterward. From here, we can only congratulate them on their initiative and say we’re eager to see how many trees they manage to fit into their home next year.
