Well, if you want a Whoville Christmas all you need are lights!

Where do you live (zone) and are you willing to part with the shrubs or do you want to rehab them?

@PmbanosLol! This is how it looks during Christmas. Im in New Jersey Zone 6/7 and dont mind parting with the shrubs.

Too cute! I'm nearby, and will think about this when I have a free minute.

In the meantime maybe someone who does a lot of landscape will have an idea.

We've done well with vinca minor as a ground cover, plus boxwoods. Once the ground cover fills in, it cuts down on weeding. Boxwood looks nice all year. You do need to trim, but not into a clever shape. A nice simple cushion shape is easy. May be able to keep the other small plants. Do you garden and want annuals, or do you prefer easy? We moved shrubs that were too close to the house and they survived, so maybe you can relocate the Who tree and trim it way down to start a new life?

These are the boxwoods, just before their last trim. Before winter starts I spray them with an anti-desiccant, and they do well.
