Holiday atrocities? Oh yeah. This is the first year I’ve seen some horrific things at our usual Christmas tree lot, and I simply had to share. Because, well, they are pretty atrocious.
Well, it was bound to happen. Pink.
Yeah, I’d put caution cones up, too, if I had to have this tree.
I could see this little blue tree in the room of a newborn baby boy. One who was born Christmas week. But only Christmas week.
When I saw this tree I had no fuc*ing idea what it was. I stared at it a very long time and still couldn’t figure it out. It’s just so…strange.
We started doing this last year. I love it. They’re stars.
I love that they’re lit from within at night, too.

Atrocities indeed. I love your stars!
Your star lights are gorgeous! Shame about your tree. Hope you were able to get another one. Yes, the pink or any other colour except green Christmas trees are not my taste, either. What’s wrong with those people? 😛 Wishing you all the best for the holidays!
I first saw pastel flocked trees when I was a kid living in Texas. Coming from Maine (The Pine Tree State), I never got (and still don’t get) the appeal. They ARE atrocious. I also get a kick out of the homes that put every possible Christmas character on the front lawn–a nativity scene, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph, Santa and his elves…but on the plus side, maybe it’s a metaphor for co-existence? P.S. Your stars are lovely.
This are truly hideous! Love the lights though. Our tree fell over one year when the kids were little and handyman husband (not) tied fishing line around and nailed it to the wall!
Oh my goodness, those trees did seem quite awful. I bet if the right creative person got ahold of them though they could do something with them to make them spectacular…and less pink. 😉 That archway/courtyard is stunning!
I remember the year my mother, (the antithesis of Mrs. Claus), put up a silver tree with a color wheel light that projected onto the tree. Talk about a cold Christmas!
Your entry looks beautiful, Carol.

So ugly they’re cute? Haha, not so much! Thanks for sharing!
Those Christmas trees! OMG! I guess it takes all types and personalities but give me a traditional tree any day! Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking but its their Christmas, let em have it!
Eek about those trees. So not my taste. But I do like those lights!
I agree with the “baby pigs” comment. I think the pink and blue trees look like the alien muppets on Sesame Street. The ones that said, “Yep, yep, yep” or “Nope, nope, nope” to everything. Funny post!
Funny. Christmas is always full of weirdness at my house….one year Santa dropped my son’s Fire Engine in the ocean! He left a letter, and delivered it a few days later!
haha the pink tree looks cute tho? hehe maybe they were just trying something new for this christmas! lol star lights are so cute too! i have one at homet oo
Those trees are certainly atrocious! Who even thought that was a good idea? I love your star lights, they are fun, festive and unique.
I suppose everything is beautiful to someone; we’ve all got different tastes (but I would not put any of those trees in my house, lol!)
Well, there’s no denying that people go a little crazy over the Holidays especially when it comes to their decorations. I haven’t seen anything as bad as that burnt Christmas tree though. That’s terrible!
To be honest, I don’t think the pink and blue trees are bad! I find it pretty artsy and great for those wanting to have their own Christmas tradition. A guy I went to highschool with said their dad used a Cactus as a Christmas tree. I think that’s pretty cool, too! 🙂 The Oakland Raiders one tho…def a fail lol I thought it was a dead coral reef :/
Hahah these trees have made my night, the Oakland one looks like it got caught in a fire! Thankyou for giving me a laugh this fine evening 🙂
hahaha this was hilarious to read! Thanks!

While blue and pink surprised me, the gray one just made me feel all gray about Christmas in general. As for my side, fortunately the only atrocious thing around here is our will power to continue decorating, hah.
A dark Christmas tree is just horrible, no matter how bright the star can be. But nothing could be dimmer than Christmas without anyone dear with you.
Haha this post madame giggle! Those pink and blue trees are truly hideous lol! Your stars look so beautiful, a lovely Scandinavian Christmas decor look to them!

Those are o weird and the Oakland Raiders tree is really really bad. I wonder what was in their mind to let it stay there, like it’s a good idea or something. Really weird.
Those trees are not like Christams trees. Horrible. The decor is pretty , specially the star lights so lovely.
I really love the flocked trees! They remind me of a winter wonderland!
I love that pick one:D I could have it:)
