30 Awful Christmas Decor Trends

Patriotic Christmas Decor

It’s always a good idea to be proud of your nation, but save your patriotism until July 4th. Otherwise, it’s simply cheesy. A patriotic Christmas, on the other hand, goes a little too far. Your passion for your country has nothing to do with Christmas. It’s a worldwide celebration! It’s perhaps the ideal time to enjoy with family of any holiday. Patriotism has its time and place, and it isn’t during the holiday season. The traditional Christmas colours of red, white, and blue aren’t particularly festive. There’s also something strange about hard-core nationalists. The universe revolves around a healthy degree of self- and government-criticism.

Handmade Christmas Ornaments

Those adorable little crafts are full of memories, yet the majority of them resemble homemade soap. UGLY! We enjoy arts and crafts just as much as the next person, but those Christmas ornaments crafted by six-year-old Johnny don’t exactly scream “beautiful decor.” However, this does not imply that you must get rid of them. Separate from your primary Christmas decorations, handcrafted ornaments can be displayed. Throwing away your family’s childhood Christmas ornaments would most likely break their hearts, so save them the pain and purchase them their own personal small tree somewhere else. That way, you can proudly exhibit them without detracting from the overall decor.

Cheetah Print Christmas Trees

Animal print, oh my. When you want to feel a little more posh, this is the place to go. So, here’s the deal: this print is strictly off-limits for the holidays. It’s about fir trees, not fur trees, during Christmas. Peta has contacted you to inform you that animal print should not be used on your Christmas decorations. Animal print is a trend that comes and goes, but it isn’t a classic. Opt for something classic instead of an over-the-top style that hasn’t been current since 2008. The classic aesthetic is always a safe bet. There are more elegant ways to show off your opulence than with a flashy animal print. Why not adorn with a great reindeer or moose if you’re just into zoology? Something a little more festive than zebra or leopard.
