It can be generally said that America experiences the oncoming Christmas every year in a really spectacular way. Entire families prepare in advance. They want to have the most luxurious Christmas decorations of all times. How is it at your household?
That went really “well”. There was a family house literally showered with Christmas decorations in the town of Great Neck on Long Island in New York in 2016. The American lover of Christmas atmosphere didn’t hesitate with decorating his garden with various Santa Clauses and snowmen and other decorations. A true hit parade of Christmas characters and kitsch! Although for the owner, it was surely a sight to behold.
On the other hand, it could be said that everyone would find something they might like. It is so over-embellished, that if you walk through the garden and aren’t careful, you might get lost!
In the village Bad Tatzmannsdorf in Austrian Burgenland, you can find the most embellished luxurious house, different from other buildings for its huge decoration that easily competes with the shining sky. If you like that, you can enjoy all kinds of things here: from snowmen, Santa Claus, across cars from the animated film Cars or the character Grinch, to shining sleigh or a swan.
„Chotovický světlonoš“ (Light-bearer of Chotovice) is a nickname for a house in Chotovice near Litomyšl, where Václav Trunec, a shining Christmas decorations enthusiast, lives. What is always a luxurious speciality are the lightbulbs shining not only on his house, but also in the garden and on the wooden gazebo. What adds to the luxurious Christmas atmosphere is the lit Nativity scene or a pig. The house decorated in Christmas style has become a rarity and people from all corners of the country come to look at it every year.
