Her Expanding Selection
Pope, who reportedly had 1,760 hanging ornaments in total, set a Guinness
World Record for having the largest collection of holiday decorations in
December 2021, according to the Swansea Bay News. Guinness World Records'
Editor in Chief, Craig Glenday, stated:
"Records like this certainly put a smile on your face at a time when we all
need a little holiday happiness. Christmas is undoubtedly Nana Baubles's
favorite holiday, and she's turned her home into a record-breaking winter
paradise. It's fantastic to be able to spread her holiday cheer to the rest
of the globe.
In 1999, Pope initially became enamored with the distinctive decorations
and was motivated to establish her own collection. She explained, "My son,
who resided in Brighton, invited us to spend New Year's with him. "We went
to a friend's house for a drink, and as I entered, the ceiling was decorated
with ornaments. It was wonderful.
Since then, Nana Baubles has purchased the ornaments by the box and
throughout the years, has also received many as presents. According to the
Swansea Bay News, even though not all of them are traditionally spherical or
have holiday themes, they nevertheless contribute toward her sizable
collection. They resemble a Christmas ornament more than a bauble, don't you
think? King said,
Disney figures, phone boxes, and decorations in the shape of food are among
the items in Pope's collection. Others have sentimental importance as well,
such as the little red ornament she received from her great-grandson and a
piece of Royal Doulton made in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden
Anniversary. Swansea Bay News reports that Pope expects to have more than
2,000 ornaments for Christmas either next year or the year following.
