Another christmas tree on a car roof decoration

AIBU if I kill an elf every time I see another decoration/cushion cover/whatever with a bloody Christmas tree on the car roof design? And a twee campervan is even worse.

Why does there always have to be a 'thing' every year that just swamps everything, what has happened to classic independent designs? I don't really care if anyone comes along claiming that it's so last year or whatever, there's still too much of them this year.

And yes, I'm spending too much time on the internet/television at the moment due to illness, so getting the full force of advertising that luckily I usually miss.

Never seen one of these and hope to continue this.

Oh I thought the sloth was this year thing - yuck

I’ve seen the xmas tree in a car roof for a few years and I don’t like it either, though I don’t really know why.

Can you post a pic because I have no idea what you mean.

TheQueef · 18/11/2018 08:44

I'm saving myself for the inevitable Christmas tree on a Unicorn.

lol, I may be under the influence of medication, but I'm not daft enough to google search for an image - the bloody things will still be popping up in June! [santa]

Ok... but I'm still none the wiser. Is this something that people are putting on their car roof ?? I don't get it.

Cressida89 · 18/11/2018 08:56

And 'the sloth'? Wtf?

InspectorIkmen · 18/11/2018 08:56

Bit lost here too - I haven't seen anything like this and I drive a lot. Can anyone post a pic?

user1495884620 · 18/11/2018 08:59

Nope. I've googled Christmas Tree on Car Roof and all I get is pictures of cars with real Christmas trees strapped to the roof (presumably to get them from Christmas tree vendor to home).

misskatamari · 18/11/2018 09:00

I hadn't actually seen any before OP, but have spotted this one whilst searching for this awesome badboy... WANT!!!!

hoki · 18/11/2018 09:01

This year it seems to be mushrooms and snails as far as I can see. How is that Christmassy?!

SaveKevin · 18/11/2018 09:03

You need to look at paperchase
www.paperchase.com/en_gb/christmas/decorations/3-for-2

They have such Christmassy delights as the soya sauce bottle bauble. What’s more Christmassy?

LadyPasserine · 18/11/2018 09:03

But it is so 'last year'. It should be a tree strapped to a drone these days.

SoyDora · 18/11/2018 09:03

Never seen this!

HurrahMoaningMyrtle · 18/11/2018 09:12

DH and I buy each other a random decoration each year for fun (usually from Paperchase). I think the soy sauce bottle might be it this year, thank you

Lucked · 18/11/2018 09:13

I think that is what’s on my sons stocking, it’s five years old and it was bought in America. You see trees on car roofs in American films but I have never seen it over here.

plominoagain · 18/11/2018 09:14

Because nothing says Christmas like a glass taco bauble !!!!! WTF ! What are Paperchase on ?

QOD · 18/11/2018 09:15

I just see Americans driving trucks with a tree one too user
Not a clue.
Show us?

I found a Christmas llama yesterday!

longwayoff · 18/11/2018 09:25

Thanks misskat, my first view. Seen the llamas though and and thought wtf? Away with all this stuff. I want glass baubles, twinkling lights and a real tree. Oh, a door wreath. Done. Merry Christmas everyone.

viques · 18/11/2018 09:25

the one with the cat that picture is a disgrace, shame on you. Not only is there a tree on a car roof, but the tree is the wrong way round, meaning my fingers are itching to rip it off and stick it back so that it is more aerodynamic. Honestly, if you drove that car home the tree would be a mangled heap of twigs by the time you drew up outside your nodding Santa decorated front lawn.

popcornwizard · 18/11/2018 09:36

viques - yes, yes and more yes - and the bloody television advert where someone slides down the mountain on a tree THE WRONG WAY ROUND, IT WOULD NEVER WORK, THE BRANCHES WOULD ACT AS A BRAKE!

I declare that this year I am in fact the Grinch!
