00:01Brandon.
00:02I am obsessed with blow mold figures.
00:04My gosh.
00:05Where'd you get them all?
00:06Dumpster diving.
00:08I will do anything to get the blow molds.
00:11Mom here.
00:12Uh-oh.
00:13What are you guys up to?
00:14Hi!
00:15Look at you, all dressed as a menorah.
00:18You need a hat?
00:19I've been planning these parties for 40 years.
00:22It's time for you guys to take on this party.
00:26Hey, fans.
00:29It's the king of Christmas.
00:30Did you get this Santa?
00:32We have to go pick it up.
00:33Hurry up.
00:36Unbelievable.
00:51Hey, Fran.
00:52Wanna go to lunch?
00:54Well, I'm having a little bit of a problem right now.
00:56Because I can't find the angel teddy bear blow mold anywhere.
01:00And I know I have it.
01:01I just don't know where we have it.
01:03My name is Brandon.
01:04I live in Uni Beach with my mom, Lori.
01:06And I am a first grade teacher.
01:08I don't see any bears under there.
01:11I see lots of reindeer.
01:13Uh, so Lori lives in my house with all of my Christmas decorations.
01:17I don't think so.
01:18I think you live in my house.
01:20I kind of look at it as a best friendship at this point.
01:27We've just grown together.
01:28We've grown up together, I think, in some ways.
01:32I got my love of Christmas really from her.
01:35Besties for the resties.
01:36Besties for the resties.
01:37That's it.
01:38Hey, what's up?
01:41Hi.
01:42How's it going?
01:43Good to see you.
01:44Is this for you?
01:45Oh, thank you.
01:46You're welcome.
01:47Wow, I love that.
01:48My name's Amanda.
01:49Brandon had a Christmas in July party a few weeks ago, and I wasn't able to attend.
01:52So I wanted to bring over a gift.
01:54This is my mom, Lori.
01:55You remember her, right?
01:56Hi.
01:57Nice to see you.
01:58Nice to see you again.
01:59Oh my gosh.
02:00The trees?
02:01Yes.
02:02Oh my gosh, Brandon.
02:04Does that stay up all year?
02:05All year.
02:06We got a lot of things, like I'm refinishing some things.
02:09We have, like, that was for my party.
02:12People could sign them and everything, which is really neat.
02:14I love that.
02:15Yeah.
02:16And the little balloons.
02:17The balloons.
02:18It's summertime, so walking into here, I was not expecting to see all the Christmas trees,
02:22all the decorations already up.
02:24I was blown away.
02:25I was shocked.
02:26I love it.
02:27But that's not all.
02:28I mean, there's other things.
02:29Oh yeah, you have to come.
02:30There's more.
02:31You have to see the other rooms with the trees.
02:32Oh my goodness.
02:33The trees.
02:36Well, Brandon's been into Christmas since he was two.
02:39He used to decorate his room.
02:41He wanted his own tree.
02:43I am obsessed with Christmas.
02:45We definitely have some rare pieces, and they're going to be out.
02:48I want you to be able to see them.
02:50It's cool that people, like, appreciate the uniqueness of them.
02:55We are sort of famous for doing the lights.
02:58People recognize us all the time, like, wherever we go.
03:01Where they'll be like, you're the people that do that house.
03:03And I'm like, yep.
03:12Is this your garage?
03:14It was our garage.
03:15It was supposed to be from my car, but it's no longer.
03:18I knew you were crazy about Christmas, but not this crazy.
03:24Just a little bit.
03:25What is this, Brandon?
03:26I would just be careful, because you might have an avalanche.
03:29I'm going to keep this shut, Ben.
03:30Everything's good.
03:31Yeah.
03:32Just shut it.
03:33I've never seen anything like this.
03:34Well, just wait.
03:37Wait, there's more?
03:39That's not even a quarter of it.
03:41A quarter of it.
03:42A quarter?
03:43There is a major obsession with the blow mold figures for the yard.
03:48We have well over 2,000 blow molds.
03:51There could be more.
03:52It is always a challenge to be like, well, I think we have this one, but I don't even know how many we have, or something like that.
03:57I feel like I get torn.
03:59Like, it's too much, and then I'm like, but he really loves them, and it makes people happy.
04:04You've got to just see, there's stuff everywhere.
04:07More.
04:08More light up stuff.
04:09Look in there.
04:10Under my pool deck, all the way to the end.
04:13This is crazy.
04:14It's crazy.
04:15So the garage, all of this, and there's more.
04:19All of this.
04:20And there's more.
04:21And there's more.
04:22Yep.
04:23Brandon, how do you even know what's in here?
04:26I found a deer.
04:27What?
04:28Oh, my God.
04:29Oh, my God.
04:31I'm standing back.
04:33I really love blow molds so much because they're just really simple.
04:37They're just a piece of plastic that just has a light inside.
04:41My love of blow molds started when I was very young, and I just think they're so cool.
04:46They're so colorful, and they evoke such nostalgic, fun Christmas memories.
04:52Oh, my God, what just fell on me?
04:53Oh, my God, there's a bug.
04:56And then we got tons of stuff over in here.
05:00Just stay back for a minute.
05:02So...
05:03Brandon.
05:04Am I a hoarder?
05:05The day-old holiday question here.
05:06Yeah, that is insane.
05:07Yeah.
05:08Merry Christmas, everyone.
05:09Maybe, like, I'm on the cusp of being a hoarder.
05:11Over here.
05:12Oh, my God.
05:13Almost got taken down by the soldier.
05:15That is insane.
05:17Yep. Merry Christmas, everyone.
05:19Maybe, like, I'm on the cusp of being a hoarder.
05:22Over here.
05:24Oh, my God.
05:25Almost got taken down by the soldier.
05:27I think I'm a collector.
05:29We'll use the C word instead.
05:31I'm a collector.
05:32I disagree with collector.
05:34I call it hoarding because he can't just have one of something.
05:36He has to have, you know, multiples of everything.
05:39And he doesn't like to part with things.
05:41Like, I have no space in this house.
05:44I feel like I have my room and my bathroom.
05:48And that's about it.
05:49Okay.
05:51So I'll put this guy down here.
05:52And let me open this one up.
05:57Just a couple more.
05:59I don't know if me gifting you this was necessary.
06:02Well, actually, funny you should say that.
06:06There's one.
06:09I should have known that you'd already have this.
06:11But wait, they're triplets now, though.
06:14So that's exciting.
06:15Oh, my God.
06:16Well, I love that there's three of them.
06:17Right.
06:18Now they're like friends.
06:19Where'd you get them all?
06:21Yard sales, flea markets, dumpster diving.
06:25Merry Christmas.
06:26All right, Bill.
06:37Let's see what else we can use.
06:39Oh, what's your focus?
06:41Focus right now is the dining room, because I want to give it that Gilded Age look.
06:45Oh, my gosh.
06:47I'm Mario, and this is Bill, and we live in Yonkers, New York.
06:51We work together.
06:52We run a retail store for 28 years, and we're there every day.
06:59You know, we're inseparable.
07:01I agree.
07:03These soldiers are actually going to go upstairs this year.
07:06They're not going to go in the dining room, because they don't fit in with that theme.
07:09I was always fascinated by Christmas as a child.
07:12I just loved the sparkle and the whole magical theme behind it.
07:16It's just, it's the best time of the year.
07:19And then where are these going to go?
07:20Well, these are the reads for the staircase.
07:22We met in high school in 1986.
07:24We were friends for quite a number of years, and then it just morphed into a relationship,
07:29and the rest is history.
07:31I'm the trophy.
07:33All right, Bill.
07:34What are you going to bring up?
07:35So, for my vision, I think we're going to bring up the golden white Santa,
07:42because he'll work in with that theme.
07:45All right.
07:46You got it.
07:47I've got him.
07:47My Christmas decorating style, it's like couture clothing.
07:53It's perfection.
07:55So, I want you to grab the Nutcracker Butler.
08:00Okay.
08:02Whether it's my Santas or my Christmas trees, my ornaments, everything is like a couture garment.
08:09Look at these ornaments.
08:10They have that old world feel-good age look.
08:13Oh, yeah, yeah.
08:14Every year, the collection grows.
08:16Those are all ornaments there.
08:17I have my small reeds here for the window.
08:19Oh, my gosh.
08:20I have all these trees.
08:21I got these guys, these Nutcrackers here.
08:24I don't think it's a hoard.
08:26It's not a hoard if it's good .
08:27These are the soldiers that are going to go upstairs this year.
08:31They used to be in the dining room.
08:32You got a lot of stuff.
08:33I mean, I'm the king of Christmas, so it has to be more.
08:36More is not more for me.
08:37I could take a collection, and I could pick, you know, my favorite and take some away.
08:43I cannot get rid of them.
08:45I can't.
08:47This is the last one, right?
08:49Oh, no, Bill.
08:49There's dozens more after this.
08:51As a child, I would, you know, decorate the ceiling or the walls, and one year, my sister-in-law
08:59said, oh, Mariam, you're the king of Christmas.
09:01I must have been maybe 10 or 11 years old when she said that, and to this day, it stuck
09:06with me.
09:06So when I started my social media, I said, oh, what am I going to call this, you know?
09:12And I said, I'm going to call it official king of Christmas.
09:17All right.
09:17I love this guy.
09:19He's going to look great.
09:20Color scheme is perfect.
09:25Takes up a lot of room.
09:27Yeah, but look how good you look together.
09:30Hello.
09:30Billy and Santa.
09:33Oh, my gosh.
09:34How great is that?
09:35That's beautiful.
09:36Great bit.
09:37Perfect.
09:38He rushes it.
09:39It's like rushing my life.
09:42I want to enjoy, you know, the summer and all that, but the minute July 4th passes, he's
09:49like summer's over.
09:50Game on.
09:51It's game on.
09:52The entire house is decorated from top to bottom in Christmas, and it debuts on social
09:58media at 8 p.m. on Halloween night.
10:01Everybody loves it.
10:02My followers on social media continues to grow, and I want that.
10:07And then you're going to do tree in a tree?
10:09So I'm thinking my new Couture Santa, and maybe how about two more Couture Santas on either
10:15side?
10:15I could always replace the tree with a pair of nutcrackers.
10:20Actually, they might work with my Couture Santa.
10:25Now, did you get this Santa?
10:27No.
10:27Is it coming in the mail?
10:28It is not coming in the mail.
10:30It can't be shipped.
10:31We have to go pick it up.
10:32Where?
10:33Um, I can't tell you just yet.
10:35Oh.
10:36My artist who makes my Santas, who I will never reveal, pretty much whatever she creates,
10:44I scoop up.
10:46Here we are.
10:50Wow, there's a lot in there.
10:52There are a lot.
10:54I actually have the largest collection of her creations than anyone else.
10:58Some people might have one or two.
10:59I have almost 30 or 40 pieces.
11:03I keep all my handmade Santas in a cabinet in my dressing room so that every morning I
11:10can open up that cabinet and say, good morning, friends, and start my day happy.
11:15Because looking at them makes me happy.
11:18I'm just happy with a cup of coffee.
11:19Okay, so, just so I know, when you go, when you die, do you want this cremated with you?
11:30You know, that wouldn't be a bad idea.
11:33Or maybe you could just cremate me and buy me a mausoleum and put these all on the shelf
11:37surrounding me.
11:38Yeah, I'll figure it out.
11:39Whatever.
11:41Okay, thank you.
11:42It's Manorah Madness Heaven, and it can be all yours.
11:50I'm not doing it.
11:51I'm not.
11:52There's a lot of branches in my way.
11:54I don't think we should be taking stuff out of there.
11:56I knew there would be Christmas stuff in here.
12:05It's a little messy in here.
12:07I've been going through things.
12:12What are these, Mom?
12:15Cute little Manorahs.
12:17Aren't they adorable?
12:18I found these really cute hats and a wig.
12:22Oh, be careful.
12:23And I wanted to see what you look like in them.
12:27My name is Flo, and I'm from New Jersey.
12:30You try it on.
12:31Let's see how it looks.
12:32Come on, honey.
12:33You look good in blue.
12:34Okay.
12:35Let's see.
12:35Oh, look how chic you are.
12:38I love it.
12:39Oh, wow.
12:40I love the Hanukkah holiday because it makes me feel joyful and appreciate all of the miracles
12:47in life.
12:48We could match with the headbands.
12:49It would be so cute.
12:50Oh, that is adorable.
12:53Do I have a lot of stuff?
12:55Absolutely, and I'm proud of it.
12:57My dreidel divas.
12:59I love it.
13:00I'm Tara.
13:01I'm Flo's oldest daughter.
13:03And I'm Lauren, and I'm Flo's youngest daughter.
13:05Over the past 20 years, she has started collecting more, shopping.
13:12Can we just talk wrapping paper for a second?
13:14Sure.
13:15Okay.
13:15We're good this year, Mom.
13:16I think you're really good if you can see, like, look at all this.
13:19I think you've got, like, 50 rolls.
13:21Anything she finds Hanukkah, she purchases.
13:24You should see the pajamas I got for everybody.
13:27She's also very crafty, so she makes some of these things herself.
13:30Look at this.
13:31This one shimmies.
13:33It shimmies.
13:35It shakes and shimmies and shines.
13:37Don't you love it?
13:38The internet is her friend.
13:40This is an invention that you won't believe.
13:44When you screw this onto the nozzle of your faucet, it turns the water blue.
13:51So it's perfect for Hanukkah.
13:53And if it's not available online, she will have it custom-made.
13:57That is my extra-large menorah.
14:01You think that's big?
14:03I found one that's three times the size.
14:06Mom, you didn't get it.
14:07They're holding it for me.
14:08I'm picking it up.
14:09Mom, Mom.
14:10You don't need it.
14:11You don't need it.
14:11You never know when you might need something like this.
14:14I know.
14:14I know you won't.
14:16I don't think I'm a hoarder.
14:18Does anybody need any shopping bags for Hanukkah?
14:21I have quite a few.
14:23No.
14:23I know my way around my basement.
14:25Be careful, Mom.
14:26There's, like, so much here.
14:28I don't want you to sit.
14:29Okay.
14:30I'm fine.
14:31Manorah Madness, it's the most over-the-top Hanukkah party you have ever seen.
14:36We probably need a few more things to make it look nice and full.
14:40Why don't you grab this tower?
14:41This one.
14:41Let's grab this one.
14:42Oh, here.
14:42Yeah.
14:43There's, like, three.
14:44You like those?
14:44They're cute, aren't they?
14:45Wait, Mom.
14:46We're taking this, right?
14:47They're cute.
14:48Hanukkah, it is a tradition that we look forward to every single year.
14:51And as the family grows, it seems that the party grows.
14:55You know what?
14:56It would really be great for you guys to take on this party.
15:01My parents were Holocaust survivors and went on to lead productive lives.
15:08It's a miracle, so that also has perpetuated me wanting to, continuing to honor the miracle.
15:17I know that you have what it takes to do this, so what do you think?
15:23Um, Mom, you're a Hanukkah legacy in this family.
15:27I don't think we could ever, ever meet these standards.
15:30So, and Laura does Thanksgiving right before.
15:34Sometimes it's even, like, right around the corner.
15:36So close, and Tara, you do Mother's Day.
15:37That's kind of her holiday.
15:39I hope my daughters will take over Manorah Madness.
15:44Even though they share with me their feelings about the voluminous amount of things I have
15:51Hanukkah-related, they love this party.
15:54Tara, you have a garage?
15:56What's important is that they continue the tradition, that they recognize the miracle of this holiday.
16:04Maybe it'll just take a little convincing, but I have to go get changed for the party.
16:09The guests will be arriving soon.
16:11That should be enough.
16:12Ah, you know what I forgot about?
16:15Look, blue toilet seat.
16:19I've used it before.
16:20It got rave reviews.
16:24Yeah.
16:26I can't wait to see what they have.
16:29I know.
16:29I might find something good here.
16:30You might.
16:31It really is that thrill of the hunt.
16:34And as a collector, I'm, like, always seeking the next cool thing for my holiday displays.
16:40They got a lot of trees.
16:41Oh, my gosh.
16:43Wow.
16:44I like that one.
16:45I think that one's a blow mold tree.
16:46There's this antique store in a town over from us.
16:49And that's one of my main spots to go and hunt for the blow molds.
16:55Hey, guys.
16:56Hi.
16:56Hey, how are you?
16:57Good.
16:57How's it going?
16:58Good.
16:58Just on my blow mold hunt.
17:00You got any new ones?
17:01Oh, yeah.
17:01We might have some special ones.
17:03All right.
17:03I'll let you take a look through the basement, maybe.
17:05All right.
17:06Oh, I love that.
17:06When you are, like, a serious collector, you build these connections with community people
17:12and you become friends with the shop owners at the antique places.
17:16Well, remember, we're looking for an angel teddy bear.
17:20There is a very large blow mold community.
17:22It's a nice community of people who enjoy the same thing as you.
17:25Like, if somebody has one they don't have, I think it's cool.
17:28You know, I'm like, oh, I need that one.
17:29Like, the other day, someone posted a rare teddy bear angel blow mold that I thought I had,
17:34but I can't find it.
17:36Yep.
17:37Oh, my God.
17:40All right.
17:41Well, I don't think it's in here either.
17:43I really felt confident in this one, knowing that, okay, this is out there,
17:49and now I need to be able to hunt it down and be able to find it.
17:53That's the thrill of it, finding the piece that maybe you don't have.
17:57I need a flashlight, yeah?
17:58I'm a little nervous.
18:00Looks dark in here.
18:03A lot of equipment.
18:04Oh, God.
18:04Lots of music stuff.
18:05Lots of music stuff.
18:06I like that.
18:08There's a lot of Christmas stuff in here, so.
18:10They do.
18:13That's terrifying.
18:14Yeah.
18:14I thank goodness we have a flashlight.
18:17Oh, there's more blow molds up there, Brent.
18:19Oh, my God.
18:20It's a blow mold goose wearing a guitar.
18:25Oh, my God.
18:26It has a wig.
18:26It has a wig.
18:29You could dress them up as a Santa suit.
18:30I have to have this, I think.
18:32Oh, my gosh.
18:33Do we need it?
18:34Add to cart.
18:34Add to cart.
18:36Great.
18:36I've spent more than what people would pay for a house, I think, on blow molds.
18:41Last year alone, I think we spent like $17,000 on Christmas decorations.
18:45This is why you can't get your own place.
18:48Do you realize you could pay off all your debt and then still have money in the bank if you sold some of this stuff?
18:55Minimal.
18:56Minimal.
18:57No debt.
18:58I don't know if I've ever actually gone this deep into the basement.
19:03Look.
19:05Nice.
19:07I'm going to have to go digging in there.
19:09Good luck.
19:10Oh, my God.
19:11There's a lot.
19:12But now I have to know what else is.
19:14I don't know how to get in here.
19:16Don't stand up.
19:17Well, I don't think I could stand up if I wanted to.
19:19Don't even try.
19:20There's stuff all the way in the back.
19:21I could see it.
19:22Yeah, there's blow mold all the way back there.
19:24Maybe you'll find your teddy bear angel.
19:26There are also spider webs, and that's going to be a little bit of a problem.
19:32I will do anything to get the blow molds, whether that be dumpster diving, pulling them off the side of the road, picking them up from friends, cutting open boxes at box stores.
19:45He's insane.
19:46Isn't he a red?
19:49If there is a way to get them, I will find it, and I will get them.
19:53Oh, Santa.
19:54Hello, Santa.
19:56Oh, my God.
19:57I smacked my head so freaking hard.
20:06You're not going to believe what's back here.
20:09They got the Santa with the puppy, but I'm not seeing the one we're after.
20:16All right.
20:17Well, let's go.
20:18All right.
20:19But I am going to get the goose.
20:20That was like a treasure hunt almost.
20:22In the basement.
20:23My knees didn't like it.
20:25It's the best goose I've ever seen in my life.
20:27Yeah, but you're paying.
20:29We got the holiday goose, so.
20:32That's cool.
20:33That's a good piece.
20:33Yeah, I like the goose.
20:34Yeah, that's good.
20:35We do 20 bucks on the goose.
20:37We can do it.
20:37Do it for them.
20:38Yep.
20:38You're our regular good customers.
20:40You got your goose for 20 bucks.
20:45Now, where are we going?
20:47Well, I can't tell you that just yet.
20:51Okay.
20:52You'll see as we go.
20:54So, uh, Bill's taking the ride with me to pick up my new Santa from my secret Santa lady.
21:00I have the cream of the crop.
21:01I have the best of the best.
21:03There are people out there that don't have some of the pieces that I have.
21:06And I don't want anyone else having her Santas, her creations.
21:10Every time I meet with her, it's a different location because I'm so worried that somebody's following me.
21:17Oh, gosh.
21:18Are you for real?
21:19It happens.
21:20People hide in the bushes.
21:21Oh, boy.
21:22Yeah.
21:23Oh, no.
21:23Oh, I'll be excited to meet her.
21:25No, Bill.
21:26Nobody gets to meet her.
21:28She is my secret, just like Santa is a secret.
21:31She is my Santa.
21:33Jesus.
21:34Who were you worried about knowing?
21:35Well, I'm worried that family and friends and even my followers on King of Christmas will, you know, eventually know who she is.
21:44And then you don't want her busy on other people's stuff.
21:46I don't want, correct.
21:48I'm just afraid that I won't get the half a dozen that I want every year.
21:53Wait a minute.
21:54You don't buy six a year.
21:57Well, if you count, I buy them as early as January and as, you know, as far as December.
22:03That's getting crazy.
22:05Wish me luck, Bill.
22:08Ah, yeah, you got it.
22:09All right.
22:09I know I got this.
22:10All right.
22:11Awesome.
22:11Then I want my wine.
22:12You'll get your wine.
22:13All right.
22:13Okay.
22:14Hurry up.
22:18Unbelievable.
22:21Bill has a cute butt.
22:31Darn, Buck.
22:33This is ridiculous.
22:34Come on.
22:35I got it, Bill.
22:36I did it.
22:37I got it.
22:38I'm so excited.
22:39There's a lot of bugs.
22:40Can't wait to see it.
22:41All right.
22:41Calm down with the bugs.
22:42Calm down.
22:43Oh, my gosh.
22:46The minute I saw it, had tears in my eyes.
22:49Oh, my goodness.
22:51It happens.
22:52You know, I get emotional over them.
22:54I couldn't have dreamt what she came up with.
22:58Magnificent.
22:58Bill, this is the best she's ever made.
23:03Bill, this is the best she's ever made.
23:03Wow.
23:04Look at this hat.
23:05Wow.
23:05Look, she created the hat out of old Gucci fabric.
23:09It's definitely extremely special.
23:11Probably more special than the other pieces in the collection.
23:15Look at this lace trim going around his coat and this beautiful, beautiful crushed velvet fabric.
23:22Everything about this is just perfect.
23:27It's beautiful.
23:30That's it?
23:31That's all you got?
23:32It's beautiful, yeah.
23:34It's breathtaking.
23:35It's spectacular.
23:37It's breathtaking.
23:39It's spectacular.
23:40It is the best.
23:42So you're happy?
23:42I am ecstatic.
23:44Good.
23:50All right.
23:50Let's see what we find.
23:52All right.
23:53Where should we look?
23:55I think we should have a dock, yeah, and then maybe up around the beachfront.
23:59That sounds good.
24:00This is my favorite day to look for stuff because it's trash day.
24:04It is trash day.
24:05So we are going to be on the hunt.
24:07We are after the angel teddy bear blow mold, so I am searching high and low for this piece
24:13because it would be wonderful to have this, like, diamond in the rough piece a part of all of my future holiday displays.
24:20Got more garbage.
24:24Garbage, my favorite.
24:26Blow molds.
24:27Finish Street's got some garbage cans.
24:30That one's over there.
24:32Oh, that's, like, recycling cans.
24:33That's recycling, yeah.
24:35Plastic, at least.
24:36Yeah, it is plastic.
24:37Not the kind of plastic you want, but it's plastic.
24:39As a teacher, definitely don't make the most amount of money.
24:42Garbage pickings, how I find a lot of our blow molds and a lot of the pieces that we use in our displays.
24:48I mean, I have no shame.
24:49I'll just pull over and go get it.
24:51Bull pick up day.
24:52Don't forget it.
24:54It's like his birthday.
24:55It's like, yeah, it's like a holiday, you know, second Christmas.
24:58Bull pick up day.
24:59See anything?
25:01I'm going to just go take a look.
25:09Nothing?
25:09All the garbage was picked up on this block.
25:12Oh, God.
25:15Is it surprising to see him go trash picking?
25:18Because you have to do it with him.
25:19It's kind of scary in a way because you know how people are going to react to it.
25:22And, you know, and they're probably thinking you're crazy.
25:24Why are you going through somebody's garbage?
25:25But it would support anything that he wants to do in his life.
25:29And that's part of the problem is I think I'm an enabler.
25:32If I wasn't, we wouldn't be in this position.
25:36All coming out.
25:37So there you go.
25:39But that's my thing.
25:41Like, he does it to make people happy.
25:43And people are genuinely happy when they come to see the display.
25:47Oh, stop, stop, stop.
25:48I think I see a blow in my trash.
25:50Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:51Wait, wait.
25:53Oh.
25:55The thing is, I'm not just picking up garbage.
26:06I pulled busted blow molds out of the garbage just to take the light kits or, like, the eyeballs.
26:10Just to take, you know, the pieces that I know I can fix another one with.
26:18What the doing?
26:19Oh.
26:19What is your face doing?
26:22Look at your garbage, bro.
26:24I got a blow mold.
26:25That guy was like, hey, what the are you doing?
26:32I'm like, um, just trying to live my life, dude.
26:35I don't know.
26:36That's funny.
26:37When you're on the hunt and you do crazy things like garbage picking and dumpster diving, you do get confronted by people.
26:44It's almost like a panic a little bit.
26:45You're like, um, well, uh, I'm going to take this and just, I'm going to run with it.
26:50All right.
26:50Well, I found a blow mold.
26:51It's broken.
26:52A little crap.
26:53We could fix it.
26:54A little.
26:55No blow mold left behind.
26:56It is the sickness.
26:57You know this, right?
26:59One man's junk is another man's treasure, right?
27:01Oh.
27:03You remember years ago when we started using bagels and latkes?
27:09They look nice on your tree.
27:10They look really nice, right?
27:12They look good enough to eat, but they're not.
27:15He's a big one.
27:17Yes.
27:17So here, scissors, just be very gentle.
27:19I know how to cut plastic.
27:21All right.
27:21Look.
27:22All right.
27:22Okay, Bill.
27:23I'm cutting fine.
27:24Don't worry.
27:25No, no, no.
27:25Bill, you have to go slow.
27:26Bill.
27:33Hello.
27:35Here's some Hanukkah gelt for you.
27:37We have costumes here if you'd like to wear one.
27:41We are doing a pre-Manorah Madness party to convince my daughters to continue this tradition.
27:50So we did it early and invited a bunch of guests.
27:55Look at you, all dressed as a Manorah.
27:58You need a hat to go with that.
28:00To continue to impress upon my daughters how important it is for them to pass this idea
28:09through the generations.
28:10Oh, look at Rabbi Pat.
28:13I would never have recognized this good Catholic girl.
28:18Not to let it be part of history.
28:23Look at these people.
28:25You can see how much fun they're having.
28:27They are.
28:28They're walking around as Manorahs, as Rabbis, as dreidels.
28:32No detail was left undone between the decorations, the costumes, all the details.
28:42It was just a once-in-a-lifetime celebration for me.
28:47Never been to anything like it before.
28:49It's Manorah Madness heaven.
28:52And it can be all yours.
28:55Oh, you better...
28:56Yeah, get the door.
28:57Yeah, get the door.
28:58Go ahead.
28:58Oh, hi.
28:59I can't.
29:00I'm not doing it.
29:01I can't.
29:01I'm not.
29:01I'm not.
29:02We do love Manorah Madness.
29:04Absolutely.
29:04It's like you enter into this Hanukkah world when you come in here.
29:08So it's really neat to have the gift of that.
29:11Did it inspire you?
29:13It inspired me to come back and see what my mom does next year.
29:19Girls, come over here.
29:21Okay.
29:21You remember years ago when we started using bagels and latkes.
29:27It must have been, what, 20 years ago you varnished these babies?
29:29Probably more than 20 years.
29:30Probably 25 years ago.
29:32And these potato pancakes that you varnished.
29:35Right.
29:35What do you think of them?
29:36Uh, they look nice on your tree.
29:39They look really nice, right?
29:41I use them every year as part of my decoration.
29:44They look good enough to eat, but they're not.
29:47When you take over this party, you can hang them wherever you want.
29:53We don't want that.
29:54You keep this.
29:55Mom, this is your thing.
29:56You know what?
29:57One day when we take over Hanukkah, we'll have our own twist on it.
30:00Ah, I gotcha.
30:02You said you were taking it over.
30:04Mom, I didn't mean take over Manorah Madness.
30:06You did.
30:07I heard you, because I didn't say it.
30:09Small scale.
30:09No, I think they didn't get that on tape, right?
30:11Yeah.
30:11No, they did.
30:13I would be willing to take it over at a fraction of what she does.
30:18It would not look like this.
30:19Absolutely.
30:20I won't be doing that, but I'll take little pieces.
30:23So I'd like to welcome you all to Manorah Madness.
30:30I have been holding this party for about 40 years.
30:35In thinking about this, however, I would like to make an announcement that I will be passing
30:47the baton to my capable daughters, Tara and Lauren.
30:57Let's give them a round of applause.
30:59I knew I was going to put my daughters on the spot, but that was the only way I felt that
31:07I could be successful in my mission.
31:10And happy Hanukkah.
31:12Enjoy.
31:12Happy Hanukkah.
31:14Yeah.
31:15Don't ever expect this again if we're taking over.
31:17If you would like to have a Manorah Madness party, this is all you need.
31:29A step-by-step manual to successful Manorah Madness parties.
31:34You will absolutely be met with success.
31:37Try it.
31:38Yeah, my friend told me that there was an estate sale here the other day.
31:49I don't know.
31:50I don't know either.
31:51Well, I guess we'll find out.
31:54Well, this is it.
31:56What do you think they have?
31:57I mean, I don't know.
31:58What do you think they have?
31:58Wait, don't go in there.
32:00Let me see if there's somebody home.
32:01I'm ready to dive in.
32:02I'm not going to lie to you because I think I see something.
32:03I know, but we have to make sure.
32:05There might be some good stuff in here.
32:06We are after the angel teddy bear blow mold.
32:11This item's so rare and so hard to find and so sought after that you have to do some extreme things sometimes.
32:18Be careful.
32:19Yeah, no, that's not too sturdy, but.
32:22You have to go garbage picking and thrifting and dumpster diving and things like that.
32:27There's a lot of branches in my way.
32:29Wait.
32:31I don't think we should be taking stuff out of there.
32:34Oh, my gosh.
32:34He will do anything to get a blow mold.
32:37I mean, the first time he did it, I think I was a little taken back by it because I'm like,
32:40you're really going to jump into a dirty dumpster to, like, look through to see what's in there?
32:45That's a little crazy.
32:49People probably have a camera on their house and we're going to get videos.
32:52That won't be the first time or the last time I'm on somebody's camera for dumpster diving.
32:56Oh, what do we got going on over here?
32:58I knew there would be Christmas stuff in here.
33:02Is it a blow mold?
33:03I can't see.
33:04Come on.
33:06Who would throw that away?
33:08Do you need that?
33:10I need a prize, so, from dumping, going in the dumpster.
33:15Come on now.
33:15It's broken.
33:18It's stented.
33:20I am doing the earth a service.
33:22That piece did not have to go to the landfill, and it's single-handedly because of me.
33:29I can't even argue with that.
33:34Well, where there's one, there's more, so there's definitely going to be another light bulb in here somewhere, I'm sure.
33:38Or something else Christmas, or...
33:42Come on, and what are you guys up to?
33:46Hey, how are you?
33:48Are you guys moving in soon?
33:50Oh, no, we don't live here.
33:51I just kind of used this dumpster as my digging spot today.
33:57Do you have permission?
33:59Um...
34:00Do you have permission?
34:06Um...
34:07For my homeowner?
34:07I wouldn't say permission, but, uh...
34:11Are you the Christmas guy?
34:12Oh, of course.
34:13Yes.
34:14A lot of people will talk about you.
34:16Thousands and thousands and thousands of lights on your house.
34:19Correct.
34:19And all the decorations.
34:22I've heard about you.
34:23That's so funny.
34:24That is funny.
34:25You've got to come over.
34:26You've got to see the hunt firsthand.
34:27Well, have a good day, and nice meeting you guys.
34:29Nice meeting you, too.
34:30Bye.
34:31Ah.
34:32Twins.
34:34Twins.
34:35Twinning.
34:36Catch.
34:37Even though we didn't find the angel teddy bear blow molds, the hunt still continues.
34:42Like, you don't ever get, like, a discouraged moment.
34:45You're like, oh, well, now I'm done.
34:46I'm not going to go look.
34:47If anything, that makes you want to go find it even more.
34:50Because now you've, like, struck out.
34:52And you're like, all right, well, now, you know, we've got to keep going.
34:54We've got to get it.
34:54We've got to find it.
34:56I'll make it work.
34:57Okay.
34:58You say so.
35:06Oh, my gosh.
35:08How do you like it?
35:10Oh, my God.
35:10There's so much stuff.
35:11Where's the new Santa?
35:13Well, the new Santa's on the mantle.
35:14Doesn't he look great?
35:16Go check him out.
35:18Don't trip.
35:18I know it's a mess.
35:22Wow.
35:22Right?
35:23He's the center of attention.
35:24All of our guests are going to see him the minute they walk through the door.
35:26I still find more and more detail.
35:29He's just really a statement piece.
35:31Pretty.
35:33Oh, gosh.
35:34All the stuff.
35:34Maybe I'll help you with this.
35:36Um, no, Bill.
35:38I don't need your help.
35:39I'd prefer that you don't help me.
35:41Maybe I'll, um, maybe I'll sit in the corner with a glass of wine.
35:45Um, no, I'd rather you, uh, step out of the room.
35:49I want to get this done.
35:50I'm focused on decorating this room.
35:52Oh, what's this one?
35:53Bill, don't touch my ornaments.
35:58Look, it looks so nice in the light.
36:00Bill, don't play with the ornaments.
36:01They're not toys.
36:03Okay.
36:04I'll put it down.
36:05If you're itching to do something.
36:06Oh, this is pretty.
36:07That is a very pretty ornament.
36:08I know.
36:09It's my favorite.
36:09But please, please, Bill, you're going to break it.
36:11Put it down gently, please.
36:12It's very delicate.
36:13I know you're itching to do something.
36:15What about unwrapping the Nutcracker?
36:17All right, I'll go.
36:17Would you do that for me?
36:18Oh, he's a big one.
36:19Yes, so here, scissors, just be very gentle.
36:22Um, just make sure you don't cut the bathroom.
36:24I know how to cut flat.
36:25All right.
36:25Look.
36:26All right, okay, Bill.
36:27I'm cutting fine.
36:28Don't worry.
36:29No, no, no, Bill, you have to go slow.
36:31Bill.
36:31Oh.
36:33Isn't he cute?
36:34Did you name him?
36:35This is Colonel Winchester.
36:37Let's put his plume on his hat.
36:38And now he's ready.
36:40Isn't he awesome?
36:41Can I get you a glass of wine?
36:43I'm sure Colonel Winchester would love a glass of wine.
36:45Do you want me to trim his beard?
36:46No, do not.
36:47Do not go near his beard.
36:49Thank you, Bill.
36:50I really appreciate your help.
36:51I'll get a glass of wine.
36:52All right, go ahead.
36:53I'm really excited to show off to my fans and my followers my room and my vision.
36:598 p.m.
36:59Is when I unveil the house on social media.
37:02And I hope everybody loves it.
37:05And look at that.
37:06Now he's complete.
37:08Isn't he awesome?
37:09Let me just see this.
37:10All right.
37:11Be careful.
37:12Be careful.
37:12Bill.
37:13You want to fight?
37:14Bill.
37:14Bill.
37:15Bill.
37:17No.
37:18No, no, no.
37:18No.
37:19All right.
37:19No.
37:19I genuinely don't think I'll be able to stop looking for this piece, this blow mold teddy
37:35bear angel bear, simply because there is definitely an obsession, heads are rolling today, with
37:43getting more and more and more pieces for my collection.
37:49What are you doing?
37:51Trying to find the blow mold.
37:53I've looked everywhere else, and this would be my last attempt to try to find that blow
37:57mold, but I don't know where I could have put it.
38:00It's got to be here somewhere, though.
38:03I see a lot of boxes back there.
38:04I don't see it.
38:05We have a lot of stuff, so.
38:06We don't have a lot of stuff.
38:08We have a lot of stuff.
38:08You have a lot of stuff.
38:10You have a problem.
38:12Okay.
38:12You have a Christmas collecting problem.
38:14Maybe a little bit.
38:15A little bit.
38:16But your look may be over, because I think I found it.
38:19No way.
38:20Look.
38:21So, obviously, I love my son.
38:22I would do anything for him, which obviously I do.
38:25You know, I go out with him.
38:26I find him things.
38:27I'm helping him.
38:28We're helping others.
38:29We feel joy.
38:30They feel joy.
38:31I would love a few less blow molds.
38:33At the end of the day, it's a bond that we have, and that's what this is all about.
38:36It's all about Christmas.
38:38No way.
38:40Where is that?
38:40It's in Red Bank.
38:41Like our Red Bank?
38:43Yeah.
38:43Like close?
38:44Yes.
38:44Right around the corner.
38:46Where did you find that?
38:47So, my friends have been looking for me, too, and they found it.
38:49You think we should go?
38:50Uh, we're going right now.
38:52Let's get in the car.
38:52What are we doing with this stuff?
38:53We're leaving that stuff right there.
38:55We gotta go.
38:55You gotta clean up.
38:57We gotta go.
38:58All right.
38:58Let's go.
38:59Yay, baby!
39:01Woo-hoo!
39:01Woo-hoo!
39:05All right.
39:06Well, it's not over here.
39:08I usually have a lot of blow molds down this way.
39:09It's not there.
39:10There's stuff up there, I know.
39:12Sometimes they're on the top.
39:13There's a store in a town over from us.
39:16It's a place I go to often to buy a lot of the blow molds, so I'm excited to see if they
39:22really have it.
39:22Nope.
39:26Nope.
39:27Nope.
39:29Nothing up there.
39:31That's the same sound that you have.
39:33Nope.
39:34There either.
39:35Nope.
39:36Nope.
39:36Nope.
39:37Nope.
39:39Nope.
39:39Nope.
39:39Oh, my God.
39:40There it is.
39:40Yay!
39:41I can't believe we found it.
39:53I'm so excited.
39:54Finding the piece is, like, almost indescribable.
39:57All right, wait.
39:57We gotta take a selfie with it.
39:58All right, all right.
39:59Let me get in there.
40:00I gotta post it, so...
40:01You gotta turn this way, maybe?
40:02I don't know.
40:02I think that's the reason that you keep hunting and you keep trying to find the pieces and
40:11go after all of these things is because you're always chasing that feeling.
40:15It's almost like that bragging rights of saying, like, I got it.
40:18Like, I was able to pull it off.
40:22Of course you do.
40:23It's the obvious day of my life.
40:25It looks in good shape.
40:27It's in really good shape.
40:28Yeah, it's perfect.
40:29Yeah.
40:29It's perfect.
40:31All right.
40:32Unfortunately, I have to pay for it, so...
40:33Oh, yeah.
40:33Well, you're paying for it, not me.
40:36Exactly what he was looking for.
40:38Perfect.
40:39All right.
40:40You guys are all set?
40:41Yeah.
40:41Yeah.
40:59Okay, Bill.
41:00You tell me when you're ready.
41:01Okay.
41:01Go.
41:02All right.
41:03All right.
41:04Hey, fans.
41:05It's the King of Christmas.
41:07Welcome to my dining room.
41:10Let me show you what I've done this year.
41:11Are you hitting record?
41:12Yes.
41:13Are you sure?
41:14Yes.
41:15So this year, we're doing a Gilded Age theme, and right now we have on the table my handmade
41:20vintage Santas.
41:21And then over here, we have Colonel Winchester, I know that every time I post him on my social
41:28media, he gets a lot of likes.
41:30Isn't he fabulous?
41:31And right here, we have the little Colonel here with the Delarovia garland.
41:36And here we have a brand new Santa this year.
41:40Auntie, are you getting this, Bill?
41:41Yes.
41:41You're nodding off.
41:42What's going on?
41:42No, no, no.
41:43I'm getting it.
41:43I'm getting it.
41:44Because it's very hot.
41:45Lick your lips, because they're dry.
41:47Yeah.
41:47Oh, yeah.
41:48I lick my lips over Santa, because he's fabulous.
41:50Oh, God.
41:51Shut up.
41:51So anyway, yeah.
41:52So this is my new statement piece this year.
41:54It's my pride and joy.
41:56He stands 25 inches tall.
41:59He is wearing designer boots, a designer hat.
42:03And look at the back of him.
42:04Look how gorgeous that is.
42:05Bill, make sure you get the detail, okay?
42:07Perfect.
42:07Make sure you're coming closer.
42:08Yes, I'm zooming in.
42:09Look at his Christmas tree that he's holding in his hand.
42:11He is absolutely spectacular.
42:13I'm ecstatic over the design of the new Santa.
42:17It fits into the space perfectly.
42:19Look at Santa's sack.
42:20It's an old beaded purse, and it's filled with antique and vintage jewels and components.
42:25It went above my expectations.
42:27It's magnificent.
42:29What do you think?
42:31I think it's beautiful.
42:41All right.
42:42So wrap it up.
42:43And that's it for today, but there's plenty more to come.
42:46Make sure you follow me on social media, official King of Christmas, to see more.
42:51Perfect.
42:52Okay, so now let me just hit record.
42:57Bill, are you kidding?
42:58Just kidding.
42:59Ugh.
42:59I had it recorded.
43:00All right.
43:01Okay.
