Every Christmas, the Biltmore estate in Eville, North Carolina, is visited by over 300 thousands of guests. This is a big responsibility even for the most experienced decorator.

Built by George Washington Vanderbilt II between 1889 and 1895, the estate was originally the family's "country home." It was opened to the public in 1930 - and continues to this day. It is the largest private home in the United States and one of the most beloved tourist destinations, reports ABC News.

In 2016, Christmas in Biltmore is themed and "resembles a holiday near the fireplace, house to house festivities, and, of course, warmth and hospitality, the tradition of which was laid by owner George Vanderbild, welcoming family and friends in the new house on 1895 Christmas Eve."

The estate houses 62 Christmas trees, the highest of which is 10,6 meters. She put in the banquet hall at home. But to deliver such a large tree was not easy.

To raise and move a massive tree, 40 workers were involved.

See how it was:

If you do not have such an "army" of workers, you can use the online delivery service for spruce, which is becoming popular among Americans, Chicago Tribune.

Angie Randall was 6-month pregnant when she decided to do a little research on the Internet, and found a service that delivers fresh spruce right up to the front door.

Last year everything went well, and she decided to order a Christmas tree over the Internet again. It's like “Uber for the Christmas tree,” she compared.

For an additional fee, you can bring it into the house, install it, and even pour it with a special solution so that it stays fresh longer.

A representative of the National Christmas Fir Tree Association, Hugh Wolley, says he is not familiar with the practice of delivering a holiday tree to the house, but it would not be surprised if this service becomes popular in a big city.

This year, Americans are expected to buy about 25 to 30 million natural Christmas trees from farms, garden centers and stores. Somewhere between 4-12% of purchased trees come from other sources that can provide a delivery service.

The owner of City Tree Delivery, who also sells trees, says that they deliver about 50% of the purchased trees. For comparison, in 2008, approximately 15% of buyers requested for delivery. He explains this popularity with the word of mouth effect, when people share their experiences with others.

As a rule, the service is relevant for people with small children, the elderly, for those who do not have a car or busy workaholics.
