holiday cheer Home interior is filled with 50 festive, decorated trees BY TIM HENNAGIR | STAFF WRITER
Richard and LouAnn Grafft have always decorated their home at 1948 W. Highland Drive for the holidays. Fifty decorated trees serve as seasonal centerpieces and a sight to behold inside their Sauk Rapids home. “We start bringing in the trees from storage on Nov. 1,” LouAnn said. “Rick and I have barely finished taking down the holiday decorations when it’s time to get started. The trees might sit undecorated for a couple of weeks before we place the picks and sprays on the tops and start checking for lighting issues.” Christmas and holiday-themed trees abound inside the Grafft home.
(Above) LouAnn Grafft identifies an upside-down Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling of the Grafft home in Sauk Rapids. Fifty decorated trees serve as seasonal centerpieces and are a sight to behold inside the home Grafft and her husband, Richard, have shared for 36 years.
There’s a Barbie tree filled with Hallmark signature ornaments, a patriotic-themed tree in red, white and blue, a gingerbread tree, and an upsidedown tree hanging from the ceiling near a hand-built fireplace that’s a massive Nativity scene. “I love Nativities,” LouAnn said. “It’s the reason for the season. You can never have enough of them.” There’s also a nutcracker tree, a tree with lighthouse-themed ornaments and a North Pole tree. One of the Graffts’ trees features Hallmark Forever ornaments dating back to 1972 — the year the couple was married. The couple has lived in Sauk Rapids for 36 years. Richard said years ago, the couple bought real, flocked trees from Woods Farmers Seed Nursery when it was located on Division Street in St. Cloud. “We started out with one tree, and it grew from there,” he said of their now artificial arbor. “People come in and see the inside of the house and say they have never seen

anything like it. Some people have taken Christmas card photos.” Last year, the Graffts had to replace a tree that was 33 years old, LouAnn said. Some of their trees are from a huge Christmas store in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Richard said the couple has also visited the largest holiday store in the United States, Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan. “When we go and visit our son, Chris, in South Carolina, after two days of driving, we will stop in Pigeon Forge,” LouAnn said. “The first time I visited there, I was probably inside the store for two days. Some of our trees are bought on clearance, like the Barbie tree — one of three that we’ve replaced over the years.” The first tree ornament the Graffts bought after they were married was a clown, LouAnn said. That single ornament was being offered as a clearance item at a J.C. Penney’s store. She said it was the only item left.

(Above) A large Nativity scene fills the fireplace in Richard and LouAnn Grafft’s Sauk Rapids home. The couple has decorated the interior and exterior of their home the last 36 years.
from page 2C The larger trees in the couple’s indoor display feature over 300 individual ornaments. The Graffts also practice the tradition of hiding a glass pickle ornament in one of their Christmas trees. That holiday idea is a German-American generational tradition. The pickle-finder receives a reward or good fortune. LouAnn said hanging photos inside the home get changed for the holiday season. Other decorations, such as hanging swags or trees decorated with houses never come down. Those trees are switched out for other holidays, including Valentine’s Day and Easter. The red, white and blue tree and others stay year-round. “I probably have over 100 Santas,” she said. “We have penguins in the bathroom, and the bedding gets switched out. We are always looking for new decorations, but the only new one this year is a Scrooge.”
(Left) This Nativity scene is one of several set up inside the Richard and LouAnn Grafft home at 1948 W. Highview Drive in Sauk Rapids. LouAnn said depictions of Christ’s Bethlehem birthplace are among her favorite decorations.
