Dominic leads me beyond the foyer and around the corner to the formal living room. Standing near the window is the largest Christmas tree I've ever seen, at least in person. It's a fake tree, but it is still incredibly stunning.
It's covered in white lights which are turned on even though it's the middle of the day. Giant blue and silver ornaments hang from almost every branch. I notice more lights glistening off to the side and see that the staircase banister is covered in lighted greenery.
"We have lights outside in the back, too," Dominic says. "They come on when it gets dark."
"This tree is incredible." I walk around it. Every ornament is placed perfectly, like someone measured the distance between each one.
"There's more. And it's even better. Let's go to my side of the house."
