Amanda Ware always loved the holidays, especially decorating her home in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Little did she know the mother of two would be able to turn that passion into a career.


The 43-year-old quit her job as a schoolteacher five years ago in order to decorate Christmas trees full-time; she charges clients $1,000 to decorate each Christmas tree.

Ware told Newsweek she earns all of her income during the final quarter of the year, decorating a minimum of 100 trees, and selling decorations, such as ribbons, baubles, stockings, and more.
