Sylvia Pope, a grandmother in Swansea, South Wales, has been adding her own special sparkle to the holiday season since 1999, when she started decking out her home with colorful Christmas ornaments.

This year, she's hanging an unbelievable 2,530 ornaments, or baubles, from her living room ceiling.

"I do it all myself. I put them up and take them down myself," Pope, 73, told ABC News. "I don't have any help at all because I like to wipe them down and wrap them to put them in their boxes. I try to be so careful. But it's always a special one that I break, and it's a shame. You can't always get another one."

The decorating process begins in mid-September, when she begins to unpack more than 40 boxes of baubles. Pope's method is to work slowly to find the perfect spot for each one, since she dislikes when one obstructs another.

She leaves the baubles up until March to make the hard work of hanging them worthwhile. Although she once left them up for a full year when she was recovering from foot surgery, they get too dusty if they're on display that long.

Pope is so dedicated to the festive tradition that she's flying off to Prague next week to hit up the city's Christmas market. She's also purchased some during a past trip to New York. Friends and family help out as well by handpicking ornaments on their travels. The most recent additions are from Dubai and Las Vegas.

Over the years, word has spread about her merry, magical ceiling, making her home a local attraction.

"A lot of people do come, the delivery men and everyone, they do come and ask if they can have a look," she said. "Because it's been in the paper, a bar in Manchester asked if I could assist them as well to do their ceiling. I was helping this guy Stuart put them up."

Feeling that her tradition is "getting a bit old hat," she also created a "bauble tree," inspired by a trip to Malta, where her son lives, last Christmas. To craft the alternative display, she purchased a conical object filled with lights and added translucent, colored glass balls.

"I love it. I think it's brilliant," she said.
