Ugly Christmas Ornament Competition Assistance (again!)

P: 11/26/2007 10:19:43 PM
KimberlyH Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,530 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 6/15/2006	Background: my family has an "Ugly Tree Ornament Competition" each year at Christmas. If memory serves, I win every year (or maybe I just like the idea of winning so much that I have selective memory?). Last year I ended up making my own ornament (the $64 dollar gem found by a PSer was WAY to steep for my budget, which is more like $5-10). So, let the fun begin, if you have any great suggestions, please share!

Skip, the taco is cracking me up, it's definitely in the running!!! I knew you'd come through. I want you to start this tradition with your family.

somethingshiny Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,648 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 7/22/2007	OH, I wish my mom still had all of her uglies. Unfortunately, she lost all of her hideous Christmas ornaments when their house burnt down a few years ago. Luckily enough, I was already married when the fire occurred, and so had been bestowed with my very own set of these handmade fantasies. Here is one of the dearest. Yes, it IS a styrofoam ball. Yes, it has been hollowed out with the flaming hot lava end of a glue gun. Yes, it did stink terribly for days. Yes, that is a Christmas card cut up and placed ever so gently in the center of the crispity whiteness. Yes, it is plastic ribbon and plastic beads encircling the ball. And, Yes, it is hung my fishing line. Yes, it was used fishing line. Maybe you could make something like this for your OWN tree. ENJOY! I shouldn't speak so badly about these grotesque things. My mom did her best to decorate a tree for us when we had no money. tsk tsk on me! * "Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely." ~ Karen Kaiser Clark *

KimberlyH Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,530 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 6/15/2006	somethingshiny, the last time my mom's entire family got together for Thanksgiving (it was about 8 years ago) my grandmother arrived with several boxes in tow, all filled with her beloved Christmas ornaments that she wanted her children and grandchildren to go through and divide up "while she is still alive." The collection included some of the most hideous things I've ever seen. We were being nice, pretending to like them, picking our favorites so carefully. She got mad at my uncle's wife, said "You're taking all of the GOOD ones" (umm, there are no "good ones"). It was quite a scene. If the woman weren't still alive and wasn't going to be present at our next holiday I'm certain many of her lovelies would make an appearance in our competition. But for now, we must be respectful.

luckystar112 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,797 Last Post: 11/16/2009 Member Since: 1/8/2007	Lol...somebody posted this on the "want it now" section of ebay. Someone from your family perhaps? Please help! I am looking for an incredibly ugly Christmas ornament. So ugly that when you look at it you think, "what the heck were they thinking when they made this thing?" I'm not looking for one that's cheesy, tacky or a piece of junk and it should be ugly enough to fry one's retinas... If you have an ornament laying around that you can't bear to hang on your tree, if it makes you shudder and cringe when you look at it, then that's what I'm looking for! Thank you. How about this cake? OR this....thing.....I don't even know WHAT it is...half deer half man? omg...LOVE the flying dragon thing in this one! Edit...just realized the ugly half deer half man is $70!!! That's a whole lotta money for the ugliest ornament I've ever seen!

Gyps, I think that scary thing from last year, at $64, is still for sale on ebay!! That snowman, is, well a word I can't say here. The frog looks quite robotic! I dig it! Marie's head is scary, a bit like that scary doll from The Twilight Zone! I'm loving the ideas, keep them coming!

Thanks for sharing your family's tradition with us again this year...I remember reading about this last year before I started posting on PS. Your family sounds like they are a blast to be a part of. Are they looking for another daughter by any chance??? ETA: I think I fixed some of the links...the mermaid one is at the bottom of the first list now. Sorry about that.
