A woman obsessed with Christmas has broken her silence and revealed what drives her to put up 26 trees every festive season.
Mel Issa is a huge Christmas fan who knows no boundaries when it comes to transforming her home into an idyllic scene several weeks ahead of the Christian holiday.
According to the young woman, she begins decorating her house as early as September 1 each year to ensure she has enough time to put up all of her 26 trees along with other decorations.
Mel further revealed it took her two decades to pile up all the Christmas décor she now uses while insisting she loves all of her trees equally.
“Finally got all my trees up. I have 26 fully decorated trees,” Mel wrote as she shared pictures of her heavily-decorated home in the Facebook group ‘The Magical Holidays of Christmas & Winter’ on November 21.
The post quickly racked up hundreds of comments and thousands of shares from people who couldn’t help but wonder how Mel manages the time-consuming task every year.
“This certainly is a labor of love!! They all are so beautiful!! That has to take you some time to do,” someone wrote.
“Omg, you are insane! But the awesome kind of insane, everything is beautiful!” another said.
A third suggested: “This makes me SO HAPPY!! IF it were possible for me to do this I WOULD, but I just live in a small house.point 404 |
I put 2 trees up, and our son puts a tree up in his bedroom.point 46 | Next year we are building on so I’ll be able to add a couple more.point 104 | Some ppl may think it’s ridiculous and way too over the top, but for me, I am SO HAPPY that there are still ppl such as yourself out there.point 221 |

Not everyone, however, seemed impressed by the ‘excessive’ Christmas display.
“I’m exhausted thinking about this,” someone joked.
“I really have to unjoin this group. Twenty six trees is so ridiculous,” another said.
