Show your best worst tree ornament

PegDope · 2025-12-08T07:47:51+00:00

All of our ornaments have a story which I love. Some others would consider ugly but they’re meaningful to us. My skiing avocado wins ugliest on our tree and was bought for me by my DD. Because I’m keto (eat a lot of avocado) and love skiing [grin] Share yours!

Here’s one that had to be retired

TheNightingalesStarling · 08/12/2025 08:39

We used to live in Cyprus, which has a chain of shops of called Jumbo (think its in Greece as well). Its like B&M on steroids. In about November, a massive portion of the store is put over to Christmas decorations. They were... different. We had competitors to find the worse bit of naffness.

This one is basically polestyrinecpvered in pompoms, glitter etc. We are very attached to it!

And we all miss Jumbo... yes there was loads of "tat" but also some really good stuff.

It’s Justin Welby-the disgraced ex Archbishop of Canterbury. I bought him from the Cathedral shop. Interestingly, they don’t have the latest one in decoration form……

I’ve got loads! David Bowie is a fave, sushi is random and the 3 wise men are vintage from the 1950’s I think, passed on from my mum ❤️

I love a random christmas tree!! This is my fish with whipped cream and a cherry on top, because why not. My husband just goes along with it now, we've got all sorts but the fish is one of my favourite.

We love Jumbo! We go to Cyprus regularly but have hunted them down any time we are in Greece (mainland and the islands 😂). We have never been there at the right time to buy decorations, but I can imagine it!
