DIY expert Chip Wade shares some budget-friendly Christmas decor options to liven up the house this holiday season.

A 37-year-old woman isn’t taking down her Christmas decorations any time soon. 

Heather Shayne of St. Louis, Missouri, has a dedicated Santa room in her home for all of her Christmas decorations. 

The packed room, with items estimated to be worth $10,000, is what Shayne calls her "Santa room." It has more than 1,200 mugs, twinkling lights, Christmas trees, reindeer and more.

Over the last eight years, she's continued buying Christmas decorations, including trees, garland, ornaments and lights.

The Christmas lover said she keeps the decorations up all year round with the goal of having so many Christmas-themed items that the walls can't be seen.

Shayne said her husband Daniel is a "clean freak," which is why her collection sits in the basement where the door can be closed to the festive items.

"We can close the door and pretend it isn’t there, but he’ll just have to deal with it," she told SWNS. 

Shayne’s Instagram account is "Mrssantaclausss," where she posts all things Christmas for her over 14,000 followers.
