Heinola, a small town in Finland has broken the world record for decorating a Christmas tree, with close to 13000 (12818) ornaments. The rather ambitious mission was organised by Heinola's Upper Secondary School but soon became the whole town's mutual goal: decorations poured in from retirement homes, kindergartens, schools and even the prime minister himself took part. People of all ages, from toddlers to 80-year-olds helped the goal become true.
Though quite materialistic, the final Christmas tree is a product of great joint effort, joy and many days of decorating by hundreds of helpful people.
Leo Brinkmann, the filmer, took around 7000 photos for the time-lapse and hyper-lapse clips.
