Real-life Griswolds Pack Home With More Than 200 Christmas Trees [VIDEO]
It's perfectly normal to mark the holidays with a decoration or two. But the Rieken family in Texas takes their celebration of the season to the extreme by cramming over 200 trees into their home. Clark Griswold of 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' fame would be proud!
Each year, the family packs their 2,700 square foot home with all manner of holiday decorations, including hundreds of Christmas trees, each with their own theme.
Of course, the family doesn't skimp on lights either, even when it causes them to blow the transformer on their utility pole. Maybe Santa will bring them a generator this year.
Watch the festive story below.
