Yet another downside of McMansions (aka "Supersize me")

Sarah L. Voisin/The Washington Post. Home owner Daphne Kessler, cq, has a gigantic 12 foot high tree in her home. Christian Lund, of Karins Florest in Vienna, VA helps her decorate the tree and the rest of her large home.

In "Frankincense, Myrrh and a 12-Foot Fir: Christmas Trees Fit for Mansions Are Hot Sellers," the Washington Post reports that McMansions need 12-25 foot tall Christmas trees. (In college after seeing the movie "My Tutor," I wanted to write a movie script entitled "The Problems of Rich Kids".)

As someone said in a recent "Autobiography as Haiku" feature in the Post (from October) "somebody's got to live in McMansions".

Outsized houses have created a controversy in Arlington where officials are contemplating a limit on what are referred to as "McMansions." This one located on the 2000 block of Culpepper St. in Arlington. From a Washington Post article.
