It takes a lot of work for something as silly as this, but the glory is worth it.”

Joel also admits that it’s helpful to first get into a festive spirit by playing some appropriate Christmas music. They are more like a Christmas decoration than a bauble, aren’t they?" Nana Baubles says, talking about her majestic collection and its many different pieces.While Joel doesn’t plan on using his baubles to decorate any other part of his house for the holidays this year, it surely won’t be his last run in with the beardaments. I thought, 'oh my god, this is wonderful'. They were from all over the world. And then I thought, 'I’m going to try this.'" The oldest baubles she owns are pink and blue ones from the 2000s, which is when she first started collecting them.

And even though Sylvia’s birthday fell on Boxing Day, meaning she received just one present for Christmas and her birthday combined, Sylvia was always happy. Sylvia, also known as Nana Baubles, lives in Swansea, Wales and owns a staggering 1,760 of the hanging decorations. They think I’m nuts, and I guess I sort of am. You have to be a little crazy to break a bunch of records with your beard,” he said. Still, Joel says baubles (and clothespins) are some of his least favourite objects to place in his beard.My wife begged me to trim my beard a little after this bauble record and I obliged and gave it a little trim—nothing major!” Every year, surrounded by the spectacle of her festive baubles, Nana Baubles always tries her best to give her loved ones a beautiful celebration.

Joel also says that while his friends and family are proud of his latest record title achievement, they think it’s a little bizarre. It really pulls on my beard. It’s painful to have all those hairs pulling at once. All those baubles add up to about five pounds,” said Joel. Nana Baubles took years to put together such a collection, with different pieces from everywhere in the world. Sylvia’s love for Christmas stemmed from her childhood. “Christmas was always a family affair,” she told us.Also known as “beardaments,” the festive, clip-on facial hair accessories are colourful jingling balls for brightening up bristly faces. The process of attaching all 710 baubles to his beard took two and a half hours and over an hour to remove them. Other than your classic Christmas decorations, Nana Baubles' collection counts many unique and quirky items.
