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

We have a recycling wheelie bin!! Sadly I can’t add photos on the app to share it with you.

Thank you! I don’t usually like non-Christmassy/completely random Christmas decorations.

My DP was very taken with this one though, so Wallace the whale has a spot on the tree. 🙂

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……

Oh my, we also have this in a box somewhere!!

This is my new one for this year. From Tesco of all places! He is called Penicorn 😂

Oh my fucking god what is that 😂

hydrangeadangerea · 08/12/2025 22:14

Each year we all go and buy 1 decoration each to add to the tree. My husband always makes sure to choose the ugliest thing he can. Standby…

Good grief.

That is something special.

I was just saying earlier today that I’ve not cry-laughed in a while and I needed it! Thank you - Penicorn made it happen.

TheChosenTwo · 08/12/2025 22:20

Oh I love all these terrible tacky tree decs! Our whole tree is full of garish decs just like some of these 😂 full of personality!
I really dislike matchy themed tasteful trees, they look so corporate and have no personality at all. IMO trees should make you happy so obviously everyone has personal taste here (and no taste as some of these photos show!) - this thread is so multicoloured and joyful.
We haven’t got our tree yet but looking forward to getting out the awful hideous baubles and laughing about them.
I love the skiing avocado op!

SongInMyBrain · 08/12/2025 22:33

Our tree is a history in weird ornaments. Sadly we lost my mum on 23rd December so its not quite the same now. Also our tree is still in the loft. From memory i think we had a gonk type creature on the tree. Not sure why....

my daughter picks an “awful” new tree decoration each year. The “favourite” ones are alcoholic old man mouse and prostitute mouse! 😂😂

The one with the bottle of booze is pretty classy. A bottle of Hennessy XO isn’t cheap!

bookworm14 · 08/12/2025 22:38

Here are some of my favourites: parachuting sloth, hot dog, and Harold Godwinson (guess which county I was raised in Grin

My current favourites are my new Christmas weasel (not technically a tree decoration but he sits there nicely) and the "weird goose" as my kids call it.

Prostitute mouse is amazing 😂

Crying with laughter here at penicorn. These are all brilliant. The fish is utterly random.

I don’t think I have anything like this to offer but I wish I did.

Do we need a Jumbo Appreciation thread?😂

Absolutely we do!
My first experience was about 15 years ago , looking for a carnival outfit for our then 5 year old granddaughter.
Lets just say some were very reminiscent of
“Prostitute Mouse “ ……🤣🤣🤣

Jesus, as its his birthday. And just to his left you might notice Vincent Van Gogh.
