Not wanting to repeat myself like I did yesterday, I bring you a brand new museum, typical of this blog in that it appears to be a hoarder’s dream come true. On Short Horn Street in San Antonio, Ed Clark’s Year-Round Christmas House has been a longtime holiday tradition for both Texas residents and tourists. According to the Ghost of Christmas Past, Ed’s wife died and her favorite holiday was Christmas so the house is decorated with all the things she loved and then some, a maze of lights and robots winding around the entire yard, doormats that sing, ceilings covered in bows and ringing jingle bells up and down the walls. Every inch of the house is covered with some piece of tinsel or Santa figurine. Ed keeps buying stuff and has ran out of room (even after an expansion) so his cars are now decorated with Christmas items. This year marks the twentieth year that Mr. Clark started this endless obsession with the holiday. What can I say? This is a place for people who start buying Christmas shit in May, listen to Mariah Carey warble “All I Want For Christmas Is You” long before Thanksgiving and have at least twenty boxes of Christmas decorations in their garage that they never use or will ever throw out. And if you don’t believe the extremeness of this guy’s house, just check out this photo set.
